Talented leads, mediocre direction/plot.


The leads were both very natural and believable. The plot and how it moved ahead was flimsy. Any of the scenes involving the younger white NY pseudo-socialite ladies were particularly unconvincing and since they are so important to the whole story, it really brings down the entire effort.

Because this is the directors first film and it was done cheaply, I cut him some slack.

I liked the film for what it was. I do agree that the plot was weak. I didn't know anything about the movke when I started watching it, so I was really bummed that they didn't get to bomb the apple. For me, I think the movie should've just been about them needing some cash for something else, cause graffiti didn't play a big part in the movie, so you could've easily changed the plot, cut out the apple plot, just make it about needing some cash and the movie doesn't change much. But it was an ok movie.

I read A review where they mentioned the final shot of the movie and I was curious to know if you took anything away from it as well.
