Ricky is having a tough day, the bullet with his name on it is quite literally staring him in the face. Structured as a flashback of his life right at the second of final judgment, for (ostensibly) our entertainment, the writer of cult festival hit Sexykiller, Paco Cabezas, blows up his award winning short into a lengthy feature of the same name: Neon Flesh. In the world of Carne de Neón you are either climbing the rungs of the sex business (It's hard out there for a wannabe pimp) or being gobbled up by it. There are cops and John's to make life difficult or lucrative, but it is the spectacularly screwed-up street folks that are on display here either for a stab at gangster coolness...

The cast of characters for Spanish helmer Paco Cabezas’ Carne de Neón (Neon Flesh) reads like a comedy and though it is indeed classified as such, the trailer packs more of an action punch than a comedic one.
It’s a bit of a crazy story. With his mother in prison since he was twelve, Ricky has grown up surrounded by shady characters. With his mother now out of prison, he decides to gift her with a club, I assume this is done in an effort to keep her busy and out of trouble, but things don’t go as well as planned. Mom is suffering from early onset Alzheimer’s and can’t remember having a son so she goes out of her way to return to the only place she remembers: prison. I assume this is where the real story stars as Ricky and his band of crazy friends,...

Let us get this out of the way, I will probably not see a worse or more disappointing film in 2010 than Carne de Neón.
