Storyline

Jimmy and Jon are a couple of Brooklyn guys who somehow never found their way into workaday society; they never found their way into big-time crime, either. But that all changes when their old friend Frankie returns from Florida with some guns to sell. In the course of a few very short urban summer days, their lives spin permanently out of control.

Cinematic Perfection

An absolutely flawless, pristine cinematic experience. A piece of true life, modern film doesn't get any better than this. I will not speak of the actors, because there is no acting. You live days in the lives of living, breathing people. If you have lived in a large city, the realism will so shock and beguile you that you will be left breathless. You smell the streets, you feel the silent despair, you know in your heart that something terrible, something tragic lurks around the corner for every character. A masterful, incredible experience that I am shocked so few have had the chance to enjoy. When all of us wanted to be filmmakers, this is what we wanted to achieve.
