Damaged Goods (2002)
A great cast of zany characters, coupled with witty dialog makes for a solid flick!
Yes I realize this is a low-budget production, but after only a few minutes you forget that you're watching a low budget film. Aside from a few minor imperfections this is a very good movie! The writing is outstanding - really witty and very, very funny at times. Love the trunk scenes!! The acting too is fantastic, something which is usually lost on low budget films. It's not just a bunch of guys sitting around a diner talking about chicks. These are actual fictional characters. It's very much like an Out Of Sight or Jackie Brown. It's especially amazing considering how many different characters are in the film. The bad guy Cecil is really cool and the 'Digs' character is a riot! Add to this the cool locations and production values! Combined with a great 'film noir' look. Plus a really strong soundtrack and score. I think this movie is worth a look. The directing is solid. There are no crazy experimental camera tricks, weird angles or strange underlying themes. Just good storytelling. It plays out like a real Hollywood film. The ending and flashback scenes are very well done! Bravo!
