i first saw this movie after rent it year ago . i think that it must have be the long version that i saw . i hat it . hat . it be like i have a violent reaction to the whole movie . i told people for year how bad of a movie it be . my chief complaint at the time ( and still ) be the mr. sophistication character . all of the strip club footage be very bad and painful to watch . however and i currently have the short version and which i really like . it be a quiet and interesting movie and although it doesn not spend a much time investigate it character a other cassavetes movie . it certainly isn not the first cassavetes movie that someone should see and but it be worth watch every once in awhile .
