Rated: 0/5 Sep 13, 2007 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 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 Rated: B Dec 8, 2006 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Pretentious.

Audience Member 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.
