what this low budget film have go for it be a terrific performance by nick stahl . he play dodge and a young and straight hustler who work the street in a gay area of toronto . dodge do drug to quell the emotional pain of have to work at something so debasing . he spend his time alternate between walk the street and live with fellow hustler in a dilapidated loft and talk with a diner waitress ( well play by michele barbara pelletier ) and and teach a new recruit name oliver the in and out of the business . the script be not well write . question be leave unanswered . and there lot of downtime wherein not much happens . the result be considerable tedium and boredom and not just for the character but for viewer as well . the story be depress because the character be all so hopeless . another problem here be that the concept be not original . we have see all this before in other film and like my own private idaho . i be not sure what the point of twist be and apart from be a contemporary update of the oliver twist story . i do like the music at the film start and and it recur off and on throughout . low key and and very slowly pace and with long camera take and this bleak story would have be well with a little more substantive action . other than nick stahl fine performance and the movie do have atmosphere and albeit dreary and but not much else .
