7/10
Solid film hampered by bad ending///may be spoilers.

Well written by Eric Bogosian, but the ending leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It seems that the moral of this film is to stab your friends in the back and to sell out to succeed in life.

Nicky Katt's Tim is my favorite character in cinema history. He brilliantly portrayed an ex-soldier with gallons of hatred stored up inside. I saw a lot of myself in that character, and it was quite a wakeup call.

The actor's did a great job, especially Katt, Giovanni Ribisi and Ajay Naidu. I couldn't stand Amie Carey's character, and applauded Nicky Katt every time he told her off. This is the best film for the Gen-X crowd ever made, as Bogosian perfectly creates these youthful characters who are too old to be young and too young to be old. I find myself reciting Giovanni's rants on society often.

I highly recommend this film, but the ending may disappoint you.
