Review of Loser

Loser (2000)
7/10
A decent movie with heart
18 January 2018
This is not some Hollywood blockbuster. What this is, is a movie with decent acting, interesting characters and good character development.

I've watched the movie for the fourth time in a year now, which has given me some time to think about it. Yes, those fake "friends" of the lead character are somewhat cringy and the ending about them is unnecessary. But that's the only negative aspect. For the rest of the movie you have a naive but smart girl, and a good guy in a bad world. By the end she let's go of her naivety and Paul gives up on trying to fit in and instead takes a moral stand. This quote from the movie sums it up well:

"It feels like this whole city is one big orgy and if you feel anything for anyone you are a chump".

The chemistry is good and full of heart. It's a good movie to watch if you just want something decent with a friend.
