I had high hopes for this indie film that has a certain amount of fame and acclaim in underground circles, and it certainly turned out to be worth a ride. It shows a good sense of writing and cinematography, but unfortunately, by variable acting performances and some scenes that just went on too long, it does not fully escape from the b-regions of film.
The dark matter that is much discussed between the characters is often intriguing, but goes adrift sometimes within the structure of the much used P.I. film noir. Finally, there's quite a few humorous remarks (of the darker, but sometimes also the very human kind) thrown in, but be alert: James McManus' deadpan delivery and the overall depressing tone of the film might make them hard to spot.
A big 6 out of 10 from this bench in this park.
