Review of Night at the Golden Eagle

Director Adam Rifkin captures the dark "sweaty" world of Downtown L.A. in this remarkable effort. With a miniscule budget and limited resources, he manages to pull off a film that reminds me of the stuff that made movies like Midnight Cowboy great. As a professional in the film industry, I totally appreciate the way he develops and breathes life into the slowly dying characters and the dispassionate surroundings. This is a movie that couild have only been done WITHOUT the help of the damn studios and their team of girls and girly-boys who wouldn't know character development or good dialogue from a rats ass -- this is due to the fact that they live and breathe the idiot box and watch crap like Friends and Ally MacSqueal and Sex in the City. Attention studio executives and underpaid development folk! Watch this film and understand there is a need for movies with REAL characters.

PS Vinny Argiro and Donny Shacks are ass-kicking!!!! A performance that will knock you on your azzz.
