The Lookalike

Some might argue a perfect lookalike, which wouldn't be wrong at all. The movie itself has quite a few characters it has to bring together or at least introduce and let them play out what they are trying to do. Obviously everyone involved has their own agenda and not everything is as it seems.

Acting-wise you get what you'd expect, with so many known faces. Some might be surprised by the women involved, but only in a very positive way. They all have tough roles to play out, but they deliver. While the story might not have that wow effect going for it, it still is as the movie itself pretty good.

Huge waste of time. I was expecting something more enticing and unexpected given the cast. But the story just kept falling flatter. Lot's of plot holes and disconnects.

The multiple plot twists don't really come together until the last ten minutes of the movie. I would have spent more time developing the Sadie Hill plot twist at Versailles. They did a decent job introducing that at the beginning of the story. But the dramatic scene near the end left more questions than answers. Basically, this is a drug drama with several disjointed murder plots stashed in the middle. And an ending that was not fully developed enough to explain the mysterious past relationship which seems to be the premise that exploits the finale plot twist. The effort of one of the minor characters seemed wasted to me.

Despite lots of good actors, this film (story line) is all over the place. Meg.

A Somewhat Gritty and Sometimes Amusing Off-Beat Little Crime Story About Drug Dealers and Assorted Hotties. Many Familiar Faces Can Be Seen in This Underrated Movie with Many a Quirk and a Complicated Plot of Misdirection and Coincidental, but Important Situations.

It's Got Enough Violence and Underworld Middle-Level Drug Stuff to be Sleazy, It's Set in New Orleans, to be Worth a Watch. Nothing Here is New in the Genre but it Tries Hard to Include Characters with Expected and Not So Expected Human Flaws.

Justin Long was Outstanding in Tusk (2014 Directed by Kevin Smith) and is Fine as the Nucleus of the Story and the Women Here are All Smokin Hot and that Adds to the Attraction.

The Film's Aloof Manner Keeps This From the Neo-Noir Genre Although it Contains Some Elements. Nothing Memorable, but is a Good B-Movie and the Cast and Some Style Make This a Good Pick When Slumming.
