Underground film icon Giuseppe Andrews stars as a sexually frustrated, half-Latino speed dealer whose rampant paranoia is about to get the best of him in director Eric G. Johnson's tense, hallucinogenic thriller Tweek City. Fired from his job at a Bay Area computer company, San Francisco speed slinger Bill Jenson (Andrews) seeks solace in the company of punk-rock porn connoisseur Jerm (Keith Brunsmann) -- a White Trash Debutantes fanatic. Jerm, however, becomes completely useless when he takes Bill to a punk rock concert, then stage dives and severely injures himself -- leaving Bill to fend for himself and to focus on what troubles him the most: the loss of his lifelong love, Sharon (Elizabeth Bogush). Life goes on, though, and these days Sharon is set to marry another man. As the wedding date draws near and Bill's tenuous grip on reality slowly begins to slip, the lovelorn addict embarks on a drug-soaked bender of epic proportions before he sets his sights on the ceremony and determines to stop the union at all costs. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This film's failure is that it doesn't really have a story, at least not one that grabs your interest. The scenes are often disjointed and confusing, thrown together without purpose, and some of the acting is overdone, so it loses its impact. There's never a reason to connect with any of the characters, so you end up bored and disinterested. Some genital nudity, but it's spot-blurred. Some parts look like Handicam quality, a shame considering high-end Sony DV cameras were used, owing mostly to some poor lighting choices.

    This movie looked like it was homemade. Also nobody in this movie could act. I thought it was ironic when one of the bad actors was talking about how it was so hard to act. I found it hard to care about any of the characters. There's a reason why I never heard of this movie and I hope I never hear of it again. No one else has written a review for this movie yet so I had to get the word out and warn all the innocent movie watchers.

    I've read quite a few excellent reviews of this film on the web, which only leads me to believe the people behind it have a solid grasp of guerilla marketing, if not of the actual tools of their chosen trade, like lighting, composition, screenwriting, and in most cases acting. Yeah, Guiseppe Andrews seems OK, but it's hard to tell. Mostly the characters seem more like caricatures. And yeah, as another reviewing pointed out, having a bad actor in the film discuss how tough it is to be an actor is pretty funny stuff, in a very unintentional way. One could claim the herky jerky way it was shot was intentional, to give the viewer the experience of being a junkie. I think it was just inept. Reminds one of a bad porn movie by it's acting, directing, composition and writing...but at least porn movies have a payoff of some sort. Actually, you'd be less embarassed renting porn than the way you'll feel returning this to the local Blockbuster. Unwatchable.

    Yes   |   No
