Audience Member This movie maybe could have been a lot better with a more elaborated plot. The actors didn't really knew how to act. The script was horrible done. The plot was really non sense from the begining to the end. Please don't watch this movie. It's one of the worst movies ever made in the history of horror movies or in general. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A neglected gem, low budget jazz Kafka on the back streets of Chicago ... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Edited to add: I want the hour and forty minutes I spent watching this movie back. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome movie keeps you guessing the whole time Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member I was pleasantly surprised,for at first I thought it was a little slow out of the gate.However,Stephen Baldwin did a fine job with the male lead and the other characters fleshed out as it went along.With a twist or two in the plot,it kept my interest,had me invested in the exhausted and confused star executive's plight and left me smiling. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite a lot of seedy characters and resulting distasteful encounters, the movie itself was surprisingly good. It was well written and keeps one guessing until the very end! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
