Apparently the director thinks he's tarintino a bad film where the only good acting is done by Marilyn manson of all people. all the other parts are very overdone and the direction is awful.
Drew (Niko Nicotera) returns to his hometown after some years. His adoptive father Larry Glass (Mark Boone Junior) is a local gangster. Drew has a thing with his adopted sister June (Sam Quartin) and plan to get away together.However this means getting rid of Larry, meanwhile Larry hires a hit- man to get rid of Drew.This is a dull, slow moving, contemplative southern Gothic film that really does not get anywhere and is confusing. Marilyn Manson makes an understated cameo as the hit-man.
Don't mind those complaining about Manson's lack of screen time. The fact is his performance is terrifying and his characters mostly silent nature and fleeting appearance makes it. What's more they are overlooking a beautiful piece of Cajun Noir that is also a puzzling work that will stick in your head and force you to rewatch it. Beautifully shot it also contains brilliant performances. Think through it and this is a rewarding movie.
Absolutely thought provoking movie. Perfect movie for movie clubs or a group of friends to go and then discuss. Exactly what we did following the movie and everyone had a different take. The music sets the scenes and really brings the viewers into the moment. The movie reveals a world of drug addiction and abuse that is so realistic that it makes you feel like you are there. The story was intentionally left open ended to stimulate your imagination. It is a definite movie to see with others. The characters were all intriguing. It is difficult to name a favorite as they all were so complex. You cannot write a review without mentioning Marilyn Manson. It is obvious now that although he is known as a musician, there is not much difference in a music performance and a screen performance. He is a true professional. Looking forward to their next project.
