Quotes

Sweet Stephan: So, he-hey, do you know why Philly robbed the porno store or not?
Mr. Jack: The answer is yes. And if you gave it some thought, you'd know too.
Sweet Stephan: I don't like thinking, you just tell me.
Mr. Jack: The answer is elementary my dear Stephen. Evil, begets evil.
Sweet Stephan: And what the fuck is that supposed to mean?
Mr. Jack: It means, that there is a logical, and natural force in the world. It preserves things spherically. Everything that goes around comes around. What goes up, must come down. You with me?

Fascinating
18 December 2010 | by See all my reviews

Dishonest marketing aside, this is a fascinating film about life and death and fate.

Looking over the DVD box I can see why one might feel fooled. This is not Due Date. This is an independent film that is all about amazing acting performances and a great script.

Zach Galifinakis is in only one (though long and crucial) scene. It just seems more like a role his pre-Hangover fans would love.

It also has a reunion of Adam Baldwin and Matthew Modine who were last together in Full Metal Jacket.

At a manageable 80 minutes, this film is quite worth watching.
