Rounding out the cast are Dominique Swain (Alpha Dog, Lolita), Gary Stretch (The Heavy, Alexander), Sasha Grey (Girlfriend Experience, Entourage) and Wilson Heredia (Rent). For everyone who likes the 30&#39;s detektiv romans, the &quot;hero&quot; talks the story to himself and you see while you hear his thoughts.<br/><br/>if you like a good movie with no useless action, happy ending, if you accept you know the end of the story in the first 2 minutes of the movie and see the movie in remembers and the hunting of the murderer.<br/><br/>if all of this is OK for you, jaeh it could be one of the best movies you saw.<br/><br/>the ones here give 1/10, i think they like happy endings or they like hardcore action nonstop and all this &quot;newschool&quot; things but this is a lowbudged movie you have to understand what it means and what art of film you have to expect, a film that is strong in some parts but not in graphics and all the new stuff that destroys good movies nowadays<br/><br/>for me it is the best movie out of like 500 i saw in the last 5 years. I was less then halfway through before I realized that if some, more experienced, people were employed to create this film, it&#39;d probably be a blockbuster. If everyone making it has the experience, then maybe hire some better people. This film smells like Canada, I think it must have been made with &#39;Canadian dollars&#39;.<br/><br/>The acting was good, the story had a few holes in it, solongyou don&#39;t pay too much attention, then you may not notice. Like when Sandy talks about it being her &quot;first night on the job&quot;<br/><br/>The editing was good, but the scene where he&#39;s running down the stairs. Good lighting though.<br/><br/>If you like fighting, and boobs this movie was made for you! So deadpan are the dialogue and narration that it's hard to tell whether the laughs are intentional. What with all the shrieking, dumb bad-girl hookers and the wistful, wounded good-girl hookers, the sexism is so creepy it might be an ironic genre critique. Then again, maybe it's just creepy.
