Review

Part Tarantino-esque pulp drama, part drug exposé, and part bloody murder thriller, this weird flick tries for greatness and settles for being a mildly intriguing find. Jessie (Dacascos) is a hunky ex-con who is reunited with his ex-cellmate (and prison lover) Larry (Woolvett) in a dark, drug-infested area of Los Angeles. Jessie has been trying to go straight: He's successful in not continuing the relationship with Larry but fails miserably when it comes to the law. A drug deal goes sour and the result is a lot of dead bodies. Jessie and Larry flee the city. They end up in an barren motel in the desert operated by a crazed codger (Forrest) and his sexpot girlfriend (Lloyd). Will the two buddies escape from the vengeful drug mob? Is his buddy ever gonna stop taking drugs? Will he get his shit together and realize his dream, to become the drummer of a rock band? Will you care? Hell, it's ridiculous, but the violence, offbeat characters and appearances by Jett and Lords may make it of interest.
