I really liked this film because I thought the Director successfully captured a lonely man's journey as he walks on the wild side. He successfully created an Everyman in his lead character, portrayed successfully by Michael DeGood. The character of Paul Ryan is not too handsome or too bland. He's the man on the train. The one standing on line in the video store. A harmless, invisible who lacks the social conditioning that most people find easy and happenstance. He can't talk to women. There's no reason why. He just doesn't know how and he faces his fear by conquering it in the art form of something he understands. Fantasy. Porn. What I liked most about this movie is that nothing felt forced. It was just the road not taken by most individuals. And it was an interesting journey.

I gave it a nine because I did have problems with the ending but that's for you to decide if it works for you. Check it out!
