This film had a Mexican film flavor to it - low cost production, everyday people, gang mentality, a little over-the-top killing. Dialogue, especially by the Nazi tatted ex-con, was believably hilariously raw. Character El Monstruo was great, although not a particularly challenging role. A negative was a not coherently edited, jumping around too much, storyline.
See the pic of the cover in my trakt movie collection loads and never watched it,then one day thought let's see what it's like,and for a low budget not famous cast,and not a big cast can't be more then 20 people in the whole film.I was very surprised and happy with it,it's a deep dark and humerous film with a few plot twists that all lead to one,well written and directed and the character of El monsteruo is class,and the films antagonist Teddy bear Haynes played brilliant and well makes the movie a good watch,also the Eminem lookalike Randy makes the movie a very underrated movie
The actors here give some incredible performances - the director really got the utmost from them. The story is cleverly intertwined and I found myself really rooting for El Monstruo.
Be warned the opening scenes are harsh and set the tone but it does settle down to a consistent violence after the first acts.

Lowlife was a pleasant surprise, much better than I thought it would be. I loved the way the story was told, with different stories and characters intertwining to finally all come together in one entertaining story. The movie is easy to watch, even though there are some bloody gory scenes, which were great by the way, it still remains a movie that is a bit different from the rest. The cast was well chosen, they all did a good job with their respective characters. I see people are comparing it to some big cult movies, which I get, and that's just a compliment to Ryan Prows who did a great job to make this movie standing out from the rest. Lowlife has it's own style, a style they should make more movies like.
