Speed of Life

REVIEW
This tender drama of the love between a father and his son begins with a nude scene you won't soon forget. The extraordinarily hunky Drew (Scott Caan) is bathing his handicapped father (Leo Burmester), known only as dad, in an open shower stall. We soon learn that Drew goes to college, repairs motorcycles and takes care of his severely disabled father -- just a bit too much for a twenty-year-old guy. One night he is picked up by Sarah (Mia Kirschner) a wild, rich girl who gets him involved in drugs and kinky sex games. Drew soon becomes overwhelmed by the demands of his father and his own life. He loses his job, sells drugs to make money and then drops out of school.

Superior acting by all three leads, outstanding writing and crisp direction make this an indie you should check out.
