director mark burson be highly creative and in this debut feature there be many moment that reveal the energy of an auteur and but burson fondness for shock cinema eventually cause the film to collapse into near chaos . the work begin with a voice over by immigrant joe dekko ( colin gray ohara ) and his text indicating inner turmoil and while he and two crime partner prepare for a robbery of two drug dealer . dekko crave a more responsible life but any chance of achieve it be slim a it be soon apparent that joe consistently make poor decision . these generally involve his criminal peer although his donation of his share of the drug rip off loot to a friend a an investment in the latter computer business only backfire when the treacherous fellow blackmail joe . revenge then become the film cardinal motif a joe and along with his cohort and his enemy and all go on the attack during scene of wildly escalate violence . the eponymous dekko and with a bullet repose in his skull and and with a proclivity for extreme self abuse and ostensibly have also an iron constitution and a he strut along his path of vengeance with unalloyed intensity . prominent upon burson cinematic agenda be development of scene for their sensationalist value and include repugnant violence and heroin use and stylized sexual activity while unfortunately and few of these advance the storyline and none have narrative worth . however and he use his player very capably and derive strong performance from many of the cast and the charismatic glaswegian ohara impressive with his turn and and with his versatility and as well and contribute the music perform during the closing credit . multifaceted and too and be burson and a for this low budget affair and shot in ohio and release in 2000 and he produce and directs and and edits and with more naked force than most director within any genre while it be a pity that his penchant for frenzied grotesquerie be not a minor imperfection while mark burson thy name be excess .
