Must See Movie...
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Loved this film! It reminded me of the blurred world of fantasies, illusions and realities when I moved to Cali. Brought a date I thought would enjoy it based on what I saw in the trailer. He was a banker around this time so he lived this life. Now he has a biz restoring old '63 Lincolns, so all the amazing cars in the movie were not missed. We were completely into the movie, but he almost came out of his seat when the song Innocence came on. Americons completely rolls out and shows us (or reminds us) of the the sexy lifestyle surrounding this world. The world of driving fast and taking chances. And the world that slammed into the wall and brought a lot of people crashing down. Sex, drugs, promises, lies, illusions, delusions...it hits on it all. I can imagine the incredible amount of work that went into every bit of this film. By the way, my screen is peppered with ads since I visited the site to get tickets. So they nailed it on marketing too.
