    • Quotes

      Barfly: [talking fast] Hiya. Hola. Hello. Good Evening.

      [gets up and wanders over and sits next to Adam]

      Barfly: Nice to meet ya.

      Adam Jones: But we've never met.

      Barfly: Oh, we go way back, John. Way way back.

      Adam Jones: My name's not John, it's...

      Barfly: I know what your name is, Bob.

      Adam Jones: [keeps looking straight ahead, in monotone] I don't know you or what you're talking about.

      Barfly: What do you mean you don't know me, Frank? Or is it Fred now? I always remember you liked changing your name. Some people change socks, I tell ya. But Wilson here, he changes his name like octopi go through digital watches, and real ones too.

      Adam Jones: I don't follow you. I just want to get back to my house and be left alone. Don't you understand that?

      Barfly: I know how you feel big guy. I mean we all wanna be left to our own devices. Our own shoes, our own appliances. There's a present in the tense. And the shift is on man, it's on!

    a good little indie number
    This is one of those films that it seems to me needs to be judged for what it is. Namely, a film made on a small budget that punches above its weight. It looks to me like the script could have done with a bit more work, but that said, the acting performances are largely excellent, the direction is good and the subject matter intriguing. Adam, the lead, is excellent - a really good portrayal of a geek who is nevertheless a hapless hero. And the tortures he goes through are great. The San Fran bar scene towards the end of the film hints at real potential. In some senses the ending might be considered predictable, but equally, it's really nice and dark and doesn't let up. Is this all his paranoid ravings or is he actually the victim of a grander corporate experiment? With all the news about drugs companies pushing the limits of the law both in terms of how they market drugs and how they test them, this seems to me a timely reminder of the dark realities of modern consumerism and the thin line between the profit motive and patient welfare. A good little Indy effort and much more refreshing than most Brit flicks currently on offer.
