Detective Lynch: Why do Junkie drug dealers do the things they do?

Darkly funny murder mystery - with Ace Frehley!

This is a gutsy little film that will do well for those involved. I was at a sold out premiere in NYC at a theater on 23rd street. The 500 people who were there gave hearty applause as the credits rolled and seemed to get a lot from the movie. It was sexy and funny with many good plot twists. Vincent Pastore and Frank Vincent from the Sopranos are cast against type(no mobsters here). Ace Frehley from KISS was dead on in his first dramatic role as the pusher "Johnny" and the young unknowns all impress. Kudos to everyone involved. We should support those gutsy enough to make indies such as "Remedy". Listen for Danny Aiello singing over the end credits.
