The plot of this movie is a little infuriating, because it gets in the way of the people.

Slam Dance's advertisement proclaims, "It's NOT about dancing." In the end, it's not about much else, either.

Watchable neo-noir that I picked up on the recommendation of a friend - was a decent little afternoon of entertainment, and something that I hadn't been aware of before so that was kinda cool. Worth a rental if you have the chance.
