A pleasant surprise.

 

Jack (Seth Adams) has a problem. His little sister Laura (Carlee Avers) is circling the drain of cocaine addiction. But Jack is a cocaine dealer. One night he uses heavy-handed tactics against rival drug dealers in an effort to stop the flow of his sister’s addiction. But in his poor effort to protect her he may have endangered her even more.

 

This was a great little flick! Watching Seth Adams’ tremendous performance, it makes me wonder why he doesn’t land more and larger roles. This independent movie was very professional and well done. The plot was a little on the stupid side, but it still beats most of what gets churned out of Hollywood today. I would love to see what French and Adams could do together if they had a bigger budget and a better plot.

 

4.5 out of 5
