Um, Rico wasn't that bad...


This was kind of a weird flick insofar that Rico was supposed to be the bad guy but realistically if it weren't for Rico then Angelo would have stayed a degenerate douchebag.

Rico actually, indirectly saved Angelo's life, especially the route he was heading down.

I think this was a better written script than what the director and actors could do with it. Poor supporting characters and less-than-convincing acting from Wincott is what held this film back. Although, to be fair, this was probably Jeff's best film, as far as his acting goes.

True brah, but until then he wasn't much of a bad guy. A bit slimy, but not a real villain. Leigh was good, but they should have given him more to do.
