Too much vomit
4 October 2004
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this film as it is floating around Australia like a turd that just won't flush.

One wishes that the main character (did he have a name?) had died when he munched on those pills, that would have at least saved us from sitting through those long-winded dialog scenes (of which there are many).

It is hard to tell the characters apart, Matt Newton is a cross between Leonardo Dicaprio and Michael Pitt, that's no compliment. The other characters aren't that interesting and are very likely homosexuals.

The film looks fantastic, shot on super-16 with some really nice visuals and decent editing (except for the vomit scene and the stupid Gilligans Island cricket scene). It has some really good scenes (mostly with Matt Newton) and I think he has some great potential, as long as he can get it into his head that he isn't Quentin Tarantino. Cut those dialog scenes!

The climax is fantastic, when the vomit guy kills Matt Newton I almost cried...then the movie abruptly ended and I burst into applause (cause it was over).

I give a solid credit (C-)
