It's not a comedy
Don't be misled. If you you think you just chose a light hearted comedy you will be disappointed. Even though it wasn't my kind of movie. (It was very disturbing and gross.) I have to admit it was actually a pretty good but also very intense movie full of emotional triggers. -6.5 rating
Confronting but delightful.
It was one of those watch while I am on the computer doing some work kinda movie but as the movie progresses got me intrigue of the story and the physique of the main characters and the challenges of pursuing that dream and ambition in adversity to the past grim occurrences. Brian Huskey was thrilling putting us through some uncertainty in his character during the course of the two ambitious yet naive men's journey. A good watch but the end was a surprise but yet expected.
creepy and retro
An improbable boogie night cheap and grotesque version adapted from a real news item. Not too badly screwed up overall, despite a film with a strange premise, you can watch it.
good..
I had low expectations for this film to be honest but as I watched, this had a good story and the acting were really good. The story moved clearly and all that needed emphasis had emphasis. It's such a shame that the ending had to be that way. I give it a 6.5/10
A Worthy Effort
I really feel I have to give this a 6.5 on here. In some ways it was quite interesting to me, and I feel some things were well captured here. However this film is certainly not for everyone, in fact not nearly everyone. It is a true story that claims to have kept the story as authentic as possible. Some may know by now that I'm big on films that duplicate reality in a very believable way. For the most part, this film is quite believable, as extreme as it is. Not every scene feels 100% authentic, but overall they did a fairly good job in this area. Aside from having some interesting aspects, it also has some pretty hilarious moments here and there. Overall however it is a pretty bleak and sad story that involves a person with mental health issues. The story itself however is really not all that bleak until near the end. If you have some interest in it, I would definitely suggest giving it a watch.
6.5/10.

Did you know
- TriviaThe final entry in the film's closing credits consists of the words "For Herbert". Herbert Wong was Tom Dong's real name.
- GoofsSteve Driver in reality was unable to try and attack Eric Joven (Eric Long in the movie) after he badly injured Chris Rachel and killed Herbert Wong. He didn't do that only because a nearby business owner named Yuri Drell used martial arts to slam Driver into a wall (suffering a wound that needed 23 stitches to close) and a stunned Driver ran out and drove away without trying to kill Eric specifically.
