Pressed

A very good inde-movie that deserves to be seen. Very gritty and real. I am really shocked at how much I enjoyed this. I say B+
"I've got three months before this whole thing blows up in my face." Brian (Goss) is having a bad day. First he gets laid off, then gets in a fight with his wife, then finds out the savings he thought he had isn't as much as he was expecting. He stops at a bar to think and finds an old friend who says he can help. Risking everything Brian gives him all he has. When two young kids interfere with the plans everyone's life is affected. Going in to this I had no idea what to expect. I was very surprised with what I got and really really enjoyed this. The movie is tense and you aren't really sure what character to root for and it stays that way for just about the entire movie. Equal parts drama and action, this a the most realistic movie of this type I have seen. You will see what I mean when you watch this. I just put it in as background while I was doing something else but found myself 100% involved about 20 minutes in. I really enjoyed this. Overall, gritty, real and...

No money, no life.
Quite dissapointed in this movie. I really like Luke Goss, and he does alright here. However, he is not the tough guy you expect or want him to be. Which is quite a let down. This movie could have been so much better and alot more action driven if Goss had been allowed to kick ass and do his thing. So you wait, and wait for something dynamic to happen, and it never does. Goss is a high spender who is down on his luck and can't pay his bills or expensive rent. He makes a bad decission that costs him what little money he has left. He tries to get the money back but is out gunned, out tough guyed, and gets hosed. This movie had great potential but somebody dropped the ball, a shame. It is quite watchable and well made, and if you do not know who Luke Goss is, you will probably enjoy it.

Good Movie
I liked this movie. Good acting and believable storyline. This movie will keep you watching. It's a sleeper and under-rated.
