Just a great movie. The performances were witty and dark. The film is well directed. It is a noir drenched treat. The story line had me and I just loved it. Director Konkle knows what he is doing here. Brittney Powell gives the best performance Ive seen her give. David Beeler is outstanding as Lew a character of surprising levels. All the technical limitations of what must have been a small budget transcend. The tone the effort is a complete joy to watchIts a treat and well worth a look.

I'm all for supporting struggling independent film companies, directors, actors, and the like.
I salute those folks that are out there fighting the good fight.
But, sometimes when you fight, you lose.
And this is definitely a lost fight.
The film's premise is good. But, that's about it.
The film starts off a little bad and proceeds to become excruciatingly lousy.
I'm not trying to be hateful or disrespectful towards the filmmakers. They probably put their hearts and souls into this project and I really do salute their efforts.
However, in my opinion, nothing really works in this film (except for a few well-lit shots).
Nice idea. Failure of a film.

Yeah, what a load of crap! Fooled me with a jargon of "Neo Noir". You don't have to be that stupid to use some saxophone soundtrack to tell people this film is a NOIR, NOIR, NOIR. The private eye does not have to be always in a jam, down and out in L.A. and couldn't afford the rent and got 30 days pay or out eviction notice. Jesus, this film just looked so pathetically pretentious and ridiculous. More like adapted from a lousy comic book or a children's book. A horrible fantasy for the brain dead adults. Absurd screenplay, scenarios and plots. Nothing is right. A complete waste of time. Like watched a lousy poor staged play in a theater. Characters are all comic, over-the-top costumes and make up. A missing person case or several murder cases, who cares! Don't forget to pay your 2017 income tax and your property tax before the deadlines, they are more important than wasting your time and money to watch this stupid Neo Noir film.

Don't waste your time with this flick. I'm being gracious with 2 stars.The film tries too hard to be noir and fails miserably. With essentially a "no name" cast, which is not normally a red flag, but in this case it is. This is more a parody of a noir detective film, at least that's the way it comes across. Acting is high school drama class quality... seriously, I really can't single out one good portrayal. The writing is an insult to classic noir, the directing is hamfisted and sophomoric.The 8,9 and 10 star reviews were probably made by the cast, crew and family members as they are so over-the-top gushing platitudes as to be completely unbelievable.
