Film Threat -
Downey Jr. and LaBeouf as Dito as well as Chazz Palminteri as Monty are outstanding. Channing Tatum (who I've never heard of) is also amazing as the tortured soul Antonio.

Entertainment Weekly -
This gallantly imperfect indie pops with attitude.

L.A. Weekly -
It's forceful and alive and spilling over with crazy poetry.

The New York Times -
hough the picture is wrenching, at times devastating, it leaves you with that buoyant feeling of having encountered a raw, authentic work of art.
