The movie and the characters will make you mad. But you can't deny the films gall to show you the ugly side of its leading men with it's unflinching descent into their manic self destruction. It's almost impossible to like. But it's a beautifully shot film with amazing acting by everyone involved. Jeremy Piven and Thomas Jane really show some versatility and I wish they were allowed to showcase it in a film less ugly at it's core. The problem is it's a film mostly about male bonding by people who obviously don't know anything about male bonding. It's homo-erotic undertones are pointless and showy and I think the ending comes only because you can't possibly let these unlikable animals be unleashed back into the world after you see how screwed up they really are. Bottom line it's a beautiful film that's ugly at it's heart with amazing performances by it's actors. Unfortunately despite all of it's deep thoughts and gutsy stories.... it doesn't have anything meaningful to say. That's okay for a popcorn flick about a few guys partying but not the art house drama this film tries to be. Mike Holtz- WeWatchedAMovie
