REVIEW
Perhaps no other film this year exemplifies uncompromising vision more than this low-budget epic. Cleverly employing a wealth of Philadlephia locations, audiences will be impressed by the sheer ambition of this production. The impressive casting is another high point, including the director himself in the role of a villain. Shifting between the present and the men’s shared boyhood past, their youth of football, keg parties and girls is familiar enough. But it is their reunion for an Eagles’ home game that takes them in another direction entirely. To reveal anymore would ruin the fun, but suffice it to say that this cautionary tale will give the audience something to think about the next time they or their boyfriends or husbands feel the urge to seek a raucous night out in the City of Brotherly Love. If strong images of sex and violence offend you, please see this film. It will validate all of your fears.
