You'll walk away confused, but then again, Johnnie is more than a bit confused himself, so maybe Smallhorne has achieved his desired effect after all Go to Full Review Film Threat 12/08/2002

06/23/2012 Take a really long time to get to the point and is filmed just way too dark. Literally at times you can't see what's going on. def a one time kind of watch but not the worst I've seen. lol See more 10/13/2008 40 minutes too long. Too many subplots make the final 'reveal' not so shocking as it should be. See more 01/30/2008 Writer/director/star Jimmy Smallhorne blends a sexual identity crisis with a scathing look at the experience of illegal Irish immigrants in New York City to deliver a compelling though somewhat muddled journey through dark streets, dark bedrooms, and dark bars.
