I was very excited to see Phillip Seymour Hoffman's performance, and it doesn't disappoint. He is excellent, as is the rest of the cast.
However, this is a film that just doesn't capture the viewer or offer a solid storyline. These are really sad people who stumble through life and, ultimately, are the product of their own actions, choices, and bad behavior. There is no character development to speak of and no way to feel engrossed in the story. I'm not sure how the title ties in, but I'd have gone with Hell's Crotch over God's Pocket. It just doesn't make the viewer care.
I just wanted it to end, and I had to watch the whole thing because I paid $7.99 on Comcast on Demand. That will teach me.
