Storyline

Jack Parsons grew up in poverty while suffering through childhood at the hands of an abusive, alcoholic father. Jack's brother-like bond with his wealthy neighbor Freddy, and his secret love for Anne the neighborhood beauty, were all that made life tolerable. Now at college, Jack attacks life with a vengeance. Fuelled by narcotics, alcohol, and a "can't lose philosophy", he runs with the popular crowd, pledges the school's most exclusive fraternity, and continues to pine for Anne even though he knows Freddy loves her. The drugs, booze and death defying initiation process cannot stop Jack, but a series of devastating blackouts that force him to question reality stagger Jack like a backhand smack from his old man and threaten to end his perfect life.

User Reviews

Cool twists, twist and twists!

Good job with the story and performances.

It's not easy to figure out if the character Jack Parsons(done well by actor Jesse Bradford) is experiencing a black out, having a dream or is awake and facing a real moment until everything is clarified to us towards the end of the movie. I'm still not clear with some of the happenings in the story but that can be ignored.

All the actors have done well. I feel the best performance of the movie goes to Emily Hamilton who plays a supporting role in this movie as a high-strung, sexually promiscuous character Vera.

Verdict: Not thrilling enough for repeated viewing but still, an interesting first-time watch.
