Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

A slow but well paced enjoyable movie. Low key, great story with great acting.

Alicia (Suzanne May) is a college student studying law. She works at a cafe counter where she meets the kindly old Darrell Jacobs (Brad Blaisdell). They forge a platonic relationship. But as it turns out, Darrell was a mafia type, but now has stage IV cancer without much time left. Tom (Aidan Bristow) is Alicia's boyfriend who doesn't want Alicia to hang out with Darrell. As someone going into law, Alicia is fascinated by Darrell's criminal past, which he hesitates to share.Darrell is murdered at the beginning of the film. Alicia is telling the story (including private conversations when she wasn't there) to a detective played rather poorly by Kathleen Benner. Things in the story are not what they seem. Our suspicions are raised early as the mystery drama plays out before us. The drama was interesting enough to draw you it, but it didn't have a knock-out punch. Decent acting. Worth a view when it comes on TV.F-bomb, no sex, no nudity.

A good little film that makes the most out of an interesting premise. A sick gangster makes friends with a waitress. Of course there is a lot more to it than that. The unknown cast makes the most of whats here. I was pulled into the story. The waitress wants to be a journalist and has a dope dealer for a boyfriend. Everyone has connections to the mob and most of them have no clue about the others. A lot of the shots were done out in the park or outside a restaurant and that in itself was kinda cool and interesting. Everyone needs to get out more, even dope dealers and mafia hit men...ya know. This film is very low budget but it really doesn't take a lot of money to make a good movie. Just leave out the car crashes, computer animation/scenery, and the big explosions and a good film can be made cheap. For decades movies were made the way this one was...with a story, actors, a smart director and lights. Its not a bad system IMO

... that it takes too long to tell it, and it's confusing!This is a slow moving story that concentrates maybe a bit too much on the human compassion side between Alicia and Darrell and not the criminal activities Alicia's boyfriend is involved into. (And Alicia has no idea her boyfriend is up to no good).We learn Alicia is studying law and Darrell has jail time and mafia connections in his past. Her boyfriend Tom does not approve of her involvement with Darrell who is in the last stages of cancer and claims to be friendless.All this comes to a head when a psychotic mafia boss takes over the drug ring and doesn't like Darrell talking to Alicia and somehow Tom is all mixed up with this mob ring.Something I missed or it's just not clear; but the whole story is a rather convoluted mess involving innocence, corruption, and deceit.
