a scaled down version of Good Fellows

Rating: 7/10 (30 April 2001)

SPOILERS. Not a bad film, worth seeing at the movie house. The film is done like Casino, and Good Fellows, music, pace etc. Its about a guy who is worried about money his whole life, and his mom would leave his dad for periods, because it was a big problem. He never listen to his dad's advice about money that its not as important as people. With the idea in his head about making alot of cash, and not having to work for it he became engrossed with greed. Money, does not solve all his problems, and the film shows the life of a non violent drug dealer. How much was left out of this film I do not know, but it shows his problems of back stabbing, phonies, bad relationships, ruined families, dishonesty, and incarceration, and it catches up.(to the point where his wife complains about money just as his mother did) This guy gets betrayed several times in the movie and for the damage he does to society he get a 100 years. Very solid!
