Interestingly dark and hilarious!!, 9 October 2002
3/10
Author: moonlite-3 from L.A.

As indie films go, this one has IT. The characters are unique, interesting and full of laughs. Warren Draper was particularly good as the porn producer turn documentarian. Like a shark in the sea, Carl Isenberg (Warren Draper) victimizes his crew in the production of a filmed suicide in order to gain notoriety and fortune. Equally good are the performances of Mark Sherman, who plays Matt Hoffman, and Anthony Contreras as Steve Elsinore. Matt is heroic and somewhat clueless in his efforts to make Gen. X wake up and see the truth by filming his own suicide. Steve, is the nieve childhood friend who is torn between his friendship with Matt, and his dreams of becoming a big time Hollywood director. As dark as this sounds... comedy comes in the form of Production Assistants, Mike (Brian Hienberg), Curtis (Brian Gattas) and Jim Dumas (Jim Sterling). They're sarcasm and lack of motivation bring a lot of great moments to the screen. The idea is fresh and interesting and there's a certain magic between the cast that makes it fun to watch. Be careful, a lot can go wrong when there is GUNPLAY!
