Strange Friends is a great film.
The film shows a lot of heart as it tells the story of Ross the mob enforcer as he searches for his missing niece and winds up having a crisis of faith.
The acting is very good for a low-budget flick. In particular Michael Ochotorena gives a fantastic performance as Ross.
Strange Friends is a undeniably a Christian film, but it's not a preachy one, rather the movie is grim and gritty in all the right places, and when by the end, it turns to a feel-good vibe, you'll readily accept that it has earned the right to do so.
And it is quite funny in places. The best of this being, IMHO, Ross's encounter with the loan shark Malvado :-)
All in all, Strange Friends is a cool and uplifting, way to kill an hour and a half.
