It's a shame there is no U.S. distribution yet. I got a chance to see this film at the SF film fest and it was brilliant. It definitely has some elements of Scarface along with a coming of age story of a boy in a war torn country. This film Rules!

SLC Punk!
(1998)
A must for anyone who has grown up influenced by punk!
30 April 1999
This film goes back to a time before Punk and hardcore was an asset to record companies. Back when the lifestyle actually meant a little something. The film is also very reflective of the misconceptions of the genre even from within itself. Matt Lillard was perfect for the part, along with the other actors. The soundtrack includes tracks that haven't been heard in years, including the Adolescents. But, if for some reason you thought "Go" was a good film, don't see this movie.
The Hole
(1998)
The pace is slow, but this film is well worth it
26 April 1999
This film is a must see if it comes to your city. It doesn't have much dialogue and the subject matter is very dark. I was very surprised with how the story progressed. Also, there is a lot of tongue in cheek humor sprinkled throughout.
Go
(1999)
Edited and acted well; but I can't believe this script got filmed
17 April 1999
This movie is a total hack. The opening scene has a boom mic drop in twice. Then it tried to be clever with twisting plots and time elements. It tried so hard that it was pitiful. The editing was very good, they probably compensated for a hack filming job. The actors did very well with what they had to work with. But the writing was absurd. The writers must've invested in some script writing software and forgot the need to be creative. Just because the director worked on Swingers, don't be fooled by any comparisons to that movie.
