Iowan teen Daryl Cage (Anthony Michael Hall) gets sent away from the failing family farm to live with his older brother in Los Angeles. B-movie actress Dizz (Jenny Wright) flirts with him on the plane. His brother grabs the wrong bag which turns out to be full of drugs. Drug dealer Roy Gaddis (Jeff Kober) wants it back.
Anthony Michael Hall's acting is a little inferior at first. There are situations that go too far and not far enough. One expects Roy to have ripped that house apart looking for his drugs. There is no point in staging a murder suicide. He wants the drugs. The motorcycle guy is strangely skilled and helpful despite Daryl shoving a gun in his side. The way that the movie is talking about the street is kind of funny. It's a whole network, you know. The street scenes are some of the better ones in the sense that it's a cinematic representation of a time and place. I actually like the AMH makeover which makes sense but they hit you over the head with the nosy cop. There are just a lot of little things which strike me as silly like the tape outlines which has even the fingers for the hands. How about the fish hook ear ring? That can't be a real thing. The plot is like Frantic. The style is like Something Wild but in the end, it's inferior and stuck in the B-movie territories.
