Rating:  - "Where's The Humanity?"
It's a real shame that this film went straight to cable-television, instead of the theaters. I probably would not have caught this film if I had not been visiting by eldest brother. I think it was a very well done film, and Director John Roffo did an excellent job with the character development in this particular film.

Rating: - A Very Cool Movie!
This is a really interesting movie that I throughly dug and enjoyed. It's part intense character study, part paranoid suspense-thriller, part chase movie. The setup is this: John Scardino is a police crime & accident scene photog who is emotionally numb inside and moonlights as the lens man for an extortion ring, taking dirty snaps of compromised businessmen in their undies with a saucy hooker named Lorraine in sleazy motel rooms. Suddenly, Scardino starts seeing the blackmail crew from ... Read More
