raise victor vargas be just a bad film . no amount of denial or ad dollar support publicity with change this sad fact . maybe peter sollett saw he do not have the money to do the movie he want to make and decide to take the easy way out by make a bad film that cynically ape the tenet of current edgy film making . maybe he just doesn not know any good . it hard to tell . what not hard to tell be the result . except for a few viewer who will intellectualize the bad film make into an attempt at pseudo realism and few will enjoy it . i know i do not . do yourselves a favor and pas on this film .
