Treading somewhat more familiar territory, Allan Moyle is back, after the debacle that was Xchange (why would a science fiction movie with Stephen Baldwin in seem like a good idea?) dealing with bookish ****-up antiheroes.
It wasn't as bad as many, many other movies I've seen, I want to make that clear, but that thing that Allan Moyle used to be able to do so well, the thing where you empathised with the characters to the extent you wished you lived in the movie. (Lets face it, he was the John Hughes of the 90s)
The script is pretty well written, but has one too many twists in the overly quirky tale, it's worth noting also that the film just looks incredibly 90s. From grungey editing techiniques, to the actual subject matter. Junkies? Who makes films about junkies anymore?
I'm being hard on this movie, and I probably shouldn't be. It's just once upon a while he could do no wrong in my eyes. I guess even teen movie directors have to grow up sometime though.
