In his third, most experimental film, Gomez again shows attraction to outcasts and criminals, but unlike LLaws of Gravity, here his haunting look at a Miami drug dealing circle is staged in a dreamlike hallucinatory manner, influenced by Kitano and others

Excellent movie have owned it for years I saw it when it first came out and have shown it to many friends who never heard of it and were blown away by the acting and gloomy atmosphere. Highly recommended.

A movie I've loved for 20 years. Just the right doses of crude, white beauty, softness, cold steel. A dream and a nightmare. Acted with precision.
