The Chemistry between Brody and Ayanna on screen is so incendiary it makes me wonder... hmm good acting or off screen love affair.
Now, Brody is a great talent, given, but don't be star-struck there are stellar performances all about and some where you might not be looking.
((((SOUND)))) The soundtrack, music primarily composed by Me and the Other Guy aka Didi Gutman and Rahj is the best supporting role of all, providing the movie from beginning to end, a lovely and melodic groove, with velvety vocals and bitter sweet lyrics that cut to the core. It draws you in and propels the most pivotal scenes elevating great performances to even greater heights. If you're curious about it search out ontourrahj for the scoop.
The characters are presented with all the complexities of humanity; there is no black and white, good and evil. It's A-Typical of homogenized Hollywood love stories so step off the soap box and get off your high horse, be warned it's amoral there is no 'lesson to be learned' it's not an after school story, it's told straight, in full color saturation. It's the dark side of love, destructive and co-dependent. trying to love and be loved with a broken heart, the terrible things we do to each other and ourselves for want of love. Some people may not be able to relate and scoff, good for them, they walk through the world without scars.
OK, it could be darker in tone, a more prevalent time-line would have helped, the DVD has no subtitles to support the lack of verbal sound quality, the cigarette burns are apparent, none the less the story is real and deserves attention.
