tiberiuscarey This film is driven by many things, but certainly not by plot. This is clearly intentional. The title itself is a spoiler. This movie is another one of those "The Guy" and "The Girl" movies, but it works, more or less. The girl is Flo, and the guy is Sam/Charlie, and that's about as much as we ever know about them, assuming even those names are real. I have never seen a sexy woman throw herself at a man so extremely to no effect. I found myself yelling out loud several times, "Just do it with her!" (I am married, and my wife was watching too, and I don't eat hot pockets nor live in Mom's basement.) This was very frustrating, and that alone made this movie unique. Charlie was very, very brooding and that most sexy thing of all, vulnerable, and Flo moves in on him with the intensity of a cruise missile. They hook up, and when she's not trying to have kinky sex with him, often involving her feet, she does this "Hannibal Lector" thing on him from out of The Silence of the Lambs. She's in his head, she gets vague responses from her bizarre psychoanalytical probes, and then tries to get it on with him, repeatedly. Charlie is so tormented that he doesn't even notice her sexually. This is a redemption movie, and yes, as in many movies of this type, "The Guy" dies at the end, although I found the ending to be the aspect of the move that made the most sense. There are other things in the mix, including a bare-bones plot that was actually irrelevant.I liked this movie and as others have said, it's not for everyone. It's a psychological non-thriller, so to speak. The interplay between Flo and Charlie is, in it's slow paced, quirky way, quite intense. Much of the dialogue is of the New Age variety, both from The Buddha, Charlie's criminal mentor, and Flo herself. It's all pretty obscure. So, I hope I've helped you decide on this movie. I could condense my review to be: "WTF? But I liked it." This movie is why we use Redbox religiously.

callanvass (Credit IMDb) Charlie Rankin, recently released from prison, seeks vengeance for his jail-house mentor William "The Buddha" Pettigrew. Along the way, he meets the ethereal, yet streetwise, Florence Jane. They embark on a unlikely road trip, careening towards an unlikely redemption and uncertain resolution.What a mess. I'm not the biggest Stephen Dorff fan, but he is fully capable of being a good actor. He seems to be phoning it in half the time here, and I don't blame him. I didn't really feel any sympathy for his character to be honest. What happened to Michelle Monaghan? She was a top actress at one point, now that seems to be a distant memory. Her character is incredibly flirtatious, but not exactly sexy. Her character becomes overly redundant and unlikable. She had no chemistry with Duff at all. She was also pretentious in the extreme. Willem Dafoe is here for a paycheck, plain and simple. Why on earth would I wanna spend time with these people, let alone feel sorry for them? I was given no reason to. The movie moves along at a snail's pace throughout, providing non-stop doldrums. The title gives away the ending to this movie if you pay enough attention. I did, and I regret it. This was an incredibly awkward and painful experience. It has no thrills, lacks efficient drama, and it's poorly acted as well. If you like watching paint dry, this will be right up your alley. I hated it. These are the types of movies where I wish IMDb allowed a "bomb" ratingDUD

Tony Heck "You have me to get you started out" Charlie Rankin (Dorff) has just got out of prison and stops in to see a man called "The Buddha" (Dafoe) who was writing him in prison. He is told about someone he is to murder for him. When the murder goes wrong Charlie begins to worry about what will happen. Him and a woman named Florence (Monaghan) begin to hang around together and Charlie thinks it will help, but he isn't sure of anything anymore. I have to start by saying that I did enjoy this and I recommend this movie but it is not for everyone. While not a total "art-house" type movie it is in that vein. The movie is more of a character driven type movie then I was expecting, but I really think that helped the movie. Dorff is good in this and Defoe has a strong and powerful presence even though he is only in it a few minutes. This is not really a fast paced movie but it will keep you watching right up until the end. I liked it. Overall, not a movie for everyone but well worth checking out. I say B.

TheHumanlessGamer This movie is about a man with serious problem maybe some past and some present who accidentally meet with a hooker, not for sleeping with her, sometimes he see her like an old girlfriend who he used to know, while they go to places he seems to know and recognize for some of his past, meeting someone who maybe he have some problems with him, his girlfriend tried to be like his old girlfriend and he didn't like it, he tried to kill her but he discovered she is not her, more (boot tracking)and fighting his old friend killing each other in the end, he go to his girlfriend and she see that he is been shot, saying to her to cry for him ( because maybe his is lonely ), I find hard to understand the story, confusing in some parts, but I see there some good story in it.
