The atmosphere takes some time to build, and the second half is a sucker punch to the stomach. Too bad you didnt like it.

I know the technical part leaves a lot to be desired...but plotwise, this has a powerful premise. If you related to DeNiro in Taxi Driver and Joe Spinell in Maniac then you ll know what I m saying.

Just think...what if Abel Ferrara had a better budget for this one?

I'll probably give it another watch. But the build up, I just didn't care for.....once it finally got going, I had lost interest. I like the basic premise, which is why I am so disappointed, I thought I would like it. It SEEMS like a film I would like, but something about it just put me off.

I related to that background very much. Probably the reason why I liked the movie a bit more.

Of course the direction and production values are grossly down...but I think Ferrara and his crew did the best they could with what they had.
