A Great Unknown

(5 out of 5 stars)
"This movie earned it's stars - for storyline, acting, and cinematography. This independant film is bound for cultdom. Charlie, the main character, is a kind of spoilt, fast-talking, Beverly hills kid bullshitter, which made me think "gimme a break" in the first few minutes of the movie, but as his more somber, alcoholic (and attractive) girlfriend comes into the picture, trying to figure out how much of his [...] she can take, you begin to feel it's not going to be superficial after all. And it isn't! The movie never preaches, it's got a hard edge, and it's not a "Hollywood film", though we surely learn something by the end of the movie (the hard way, of course). This film moves at a very quick and engaging pace, the acting is dead on, and it packs a wallop in the end! The fast-talking, realistic dialogue between these jaded characters and the very recognizable elements within both them and the story, will [...] you in from the get-go and take you on a wild, and horrific, ride! It creeps up on you.. Look out!"
