CGiii Comment
A film that can't make up its mind - a comedy or a drama?
A gangster film that has to have a gay gangster - because that's the norm now.
A film with a strong cast - and yet, not one of the actors display any of their strengths.
A washout.

The(ir) Blurb...
Michael is a perpetual waster. He owes money to Perrier, a local thug. When two enforcers demand payment by nightfall, Michael does a burglary with two others but won't be paid till morning. All he has to do is stay away from the thugs until he can get the money then give it to Perrier. But the lads catch Michael and start to deliver a beating, but Brenda, Michael's suicidal neighbor, shoots one. Now they must run for their lives, accompanied by Jim, Michael's estranged father who claims to be dying and has come to reconcile with his son. Will any of the trio see the sun rise? And can Michael become enlightened, become a better man?
