Cool characters, great acting and an all-around entertaining time. Will definitely add this to my DVD collection!

Had the privilege of seeing this movie in an early screening. I'm am completely impressed with the quality of work produced by this director. If you're looking for a gritty indie film, I highly recommend it! I look forward to future works not only from the director but from the actors as well. I'm excited for my copy of the DVD to come!

Gutsy look at American consumerism, with engaging characters and a dark plot twist you don't see coming. Written and directed and by Dan Glaser, a rising talent who knows how to tell a good story. Great indie film that doesn't play like one. Superb!

I rented this movie based on the reviews. I can't believe people liked this movie. Maybe it got better later in the film. I couldn't endure more than 20 minutes of it. This is a bad B movie. The music score sounds cheap and dated. Unnecessary excess violence. Don't waste your time and money on this movie.

This movie fails in many ways. Poorly written, poorly directed and most certainly poorly acted. Really? out of work actors who form a drug dealing gang in the middle of Kansas or wherever? I didn't know Kansas was such a big draw for "wanna-be" actors. Add to that the broken plot line and "stupidity" of the main character and you would be better off watching Trainspotting for the 9th or 10th time.

If quirky means a confusing mess of a movie, then I think it's an apt description.

Opened with a promising Guy Richie like intro, then disappoint hit when the actual movie started. I think it was shot ona home video camera--the quality and digital photography was sub par. It really seemed like a student film project (and not the head of the class). I think the positive reviews were from close friends or family members of the director. I don't know any of them and thought the movie was not very good. 1.5 stars.
