I came across this title when I let Tubi I think it was run past the end of Resident Evil. Maybe it's because it's 3am, or maybe it's the several dabs, but I gotta tell you, this movie absolutely does not suck.

Are the performances going to bring home any oscars? Probably not. Is the occasionally stilted and often repetitive dialogue going to win any awards? I doubt it, although there are certainly some gems in there ("I'm sorry, baby! I didn't know you'd die for this pu*sy! You good?"). Is the story contrived and somewhat unoriginal? Sure.

But you know what? I don't care. Because the whole thing is absolutely dripping with passion and heart. Bricks, tho a man of few words, exudes a gravitas that pulled me in. And while the only point of reference I have is a single film class back in college, I'll be damned if this thing wasn't really well shot! Somebody got really creative with camera angles and set dressing and the whole thing feels just incredibly authentic. It started out as background noise but I ended up watching the thing through with focus till the very end. Sure, you see the twist coming from a mile away, but it doesn't make it any less engrossing to watch. Solid flick.
