If you rent this one hoping to see Steve Buscemi, John Cusack or Ethan Hawke, don't bother. None of them has more than 2 minutes on screen. On the other hand, the main character, who is in every scene, is played by a terribly uninteresting, amateurish performer. He comes off as shallow, which means death for this movie, since 1. the movie revolves around this one character, and 2. the character is suppose to be a thoughtful "outsider" type. The movie suffers from many of the usual independant film problems: unconvincing sets, bad acting(takes that shouldn't have gotten near the final cut)without the edge that makes indies worth while(the ending is actually more syrupy than the average Hollywood flic.
