There's a lot to say about this. Amongst all the raves about this movie on here, one reviewer did mention that this seems disjointed, and he's absolutely right. It's almost as if you are required to watch a prequel because the plot is very hard to follow. We basically are shown "drug people" who are evidence the run and take refuge in a dive bar, in which we have patrons who never receive any back story and are just basically there throughout the film....almost.
We are shown bits of the past involving drug dealers who kill and an apparent child who was somehow turned into an addict. That's it. All the other jumbled past references really don't explain much. I'm still unclear as to why Gail was so maternal towards Will, as if he were her son. We later find out she promised the main dealer she would look after him. So why the hysterics?
We never really are shown how any of these people are related and characters are mentioned that we know nothing about.
In paying the Devil his dues, I will say the climax of the movie (what I waited patiently for). Is worth the confusion. You don't need to understand anything. Gory, creative kills and pandemonium!
Take my suggestion and fast forward to when Will dies. It's at this point the movie gets interesting.
