The movie focuses on Sam's dilemma; he wants to move on from his seedy criminal past, but the past isn't ready to let go.

Sally, his wife, stays at home, her leg in a cast from hip to ankle, and watches daytime TV. Any time Sam turns up, she either ignores him, threatens him, or seduces him into taking the drugs he's trying to give up.

Eddy, Sam's brother, is determined to keep Sam firmly entrenched in petty crime - for Eddy's benefit, of course.

Mark Phillips, as Sam, is a knockout and despite the fact that this character is an idiot (and a criminal), you're completely in his corner, willing him to somehow escape and move on.

This is an intelligent, witty script and the cast, all unknowns, is amazing. Particular standouts are Mark Phillips as Sam, JP Allen as Eddy and Kim Ataide as Sally.

This film really questions the abilities of one person to act as their own catalyst for change. Are individuals responsible for their own state of being, or do others share in the responsibility? Can you change what type of person you are, or only learn to perform as though you are a changed individual? One must ask after viewing this film not only "Is the glass half empty or half full" but also "Is life predestined or do I have the power to change the outcome". The symbolism sprinkled throughout this film reminds the viewer to really question reality and how we come to choose the perceptions we build our lives on. Beautifully done, kudos!
