Fresh Kill

Again, another one of the City Lights collection. Here an aspiring actor, Chester, who works at a butcher's, no, not as a cabbie, or in a restaurant. He gets into a whole load of trouble with the wrong girl, who's fella, Manny (Robert Dzar, funny as, in this) a big crime lord, whose place is one of grand riches, is after her. This girl has some really weird friends, one of them, a real nutter, who runs a helicopter place, quite philosophical, who remarks about Anthony Quinn and spouts off a number of movies. He's one of them who tries to help them in their quest, as Z'dar's men are quickly moving in on them. Some quite strong violence, like in a shootout scene, and the killing of Chester's parents too. It has a unexpected and sudden finale, where this does one better than a lot of these City Light's films which are pretty pathetic. Chester, who's aspirations of stardom have gone, becomes money hungry with his new girl, dead set against the idea. Afterall it's Manny's money. This makes for good entertainment, but again don't expect too much. One unnecessary scene, has a kid knifing a whore, if you can believe that. Quite a rare find now, this film would be, but good luck.
