Devious Beings (2002)
Not that great.....but that makes it great!!
This movie was your regular low budget, run of the mill "oops, i lost your drugs" kind of movie. But it had really good qualities about it. First off, if you listen carefully during some of the biggest scenes in the movie, christmas music plays as the soundtrack. I thought that was down right hilarious. The movie is serious but really never takes itself too seriously if that makes any sense at all. Definitely a dark comedy though those people who go into it thinking its a serious drama will definitely be disappointed. For those of you like me who just find randomness funny and have a real sick dry sense of humor, you'll probably love this movie. Some of the lines in this movie are classic and just come out of nowhere. The wrapping present scene is just too funny for words.
Basically without giving anything away (because it does have a few twists), the story is based around 3 childhood friends who are now dealing ecstasy between groups, mafia, etc. One of them has a mother who supposedly has a criminal record a mile long. So in order to keep his mother out of jail, he is blackmailed by a undercover detective that wants him to turn in his two friends and lead them to the head guy behind the dealing. So now he has to make his decision. Like I said, run of the mill storyline. There are a few moments in the movie that drag but they are followed by some great scenes. Don't rent it expecting oscar award winning acting. It's just a good ol' movie to sit down with a beer in one hand and relax to. Good stuff :)
