Avoid This Movie At All Costs
11 May 2000
This movie is about a young man, played by Scott Leet that accidentally kills a woman while he is in the act of a one-night stand. Unfortunately for him, the woman he kills is married to a crazed cop, played by Mickey Rourke. After Leet gets released from prison after serving seven years, he meets up with a married couple and he gets involved in a love triangle of sorts. As a subplot, Rourke is hell bent on getting revenge on Leet. I could go on, but it's really not worth the effort.

In all fairness, the above synopsis actually sounds better than the film plays. Two words that come to mind while watching this movie are "stupid" and "amateurish".

This movie was written, directed, and produced by Scott Leet and Bojesse Christopher. And as if their talent was still not being fully tapped, they also play the two main characters in the film.

Well, the story isn't very compelling, and they make the film worse by their horrible acting.

I guess Leet and Christopher raised enough money to hire a few professional actors that are "guns for hire" at this point in their career. This includes Mickey Rourke, Christina Applegate, and Peter Greene. All of them have minor roles (fortunately for them, unfortunately for the viewers).

Although Mickey Rourke has top billing in this production, he is merely a supporting character. In spite of the thin material he has to work with, Rourke delivers a very good performance.

The only thing of interest is to see how striking the bad acting is relative to the good acting in the film. Amateurs and professionals should really never mix.

Bottom-line; avoid this movie at all costs. I would give this a solid 2 out of 10.
