Awesome movie. Chech out Death Sentance. I think they go together

A pretty good double feature. It's also interesting they came out at around the same time and holds the same grit. Violent and angry films.

Agreed

I liked this one. The opening theme has really stayed with me and the end credits sequence is great.

It gave the feeling of a modern day fairy tale. Because back in the day fairy tales always had a sinister plot.

There was another movie by the same name with Billy Crystal that I think was better.

Interest the Tweeker's kid in the piece!

This movie has an Alice in Wonderland theme running through it. If you google it, the article is pretty interesting.

Great movie! Definitely Paul Walker’s best performance, IMO. And Vera Farmiga was drop dead gorgeous here.

Edited

This film is hot wrapped dogshit.

Wasn't this a remake?

u/amb_7_96 avatar

No. You're probably getting this confused with the Billy Crystal movie. They just both share the same name.

Agree 100%. This movie was exceptional and I think if more famous actors had been cast it would get more attention.

u/Movieking985 avatar

One of my favorite films of all time especially in this genre

This movie had a web game where you had to eat a chick out and make her cum so you could move on.

One of my top underrated movies. When I saw it I was shocked I’d never heard of it before. A+

great movie. surprised the hell outta me.

Edited

I saw this movie pop up on this thread a few months back. I downloaded it to watch it. I finally got around the other day to seeing it.

Man, this is not a good movie. It seems to be written, directed, and edited by a teenage boy with a Monster energy drink addiction. The editing clearly dates this movie to the mid-2000's. Vera Farmiga is just starting to develop the Boston accent she would later use in The Departed.

The opening scene is awkward and cringy. White dudes dropping N-bombs, obviously not comfortable doing it.

Just an all around hard movie to watch. I typically save most movies I download but this one was sent right to the recycling bin.

And Cameron Bright is the most punchable child actor of all time.

Yeah, it's edge-lordy but it's a fun corny-"drive-thru-esqe" type of fun movie. At least to me. The constant use of the word "fuck," it's cringe use of the n-word and overuse of violence just makes it a unintensely-hilarious movie.
