Or Diary Of a Loser. The main character was obliously inspired by Al Pacino in SCARFACE or CARLITO'S WAY, but he unfortunately is not Pacino. The story itself is very simple and realistic; no hero here, only petty punks story as we already have seen a thousand times before, but I repeat, more simple, in a so unbelievable way that it even becomes flat and boring, predictable and forgettable. No gufights either nor exceptional scenes. i will rapidly forget this one, drowned among the dozens of other features speaking of the La or NYC underworld, with petty punks from the Black, Jewish, Russian or Irish community. Not bad at all though. Because not ambitious, only realistic. You can't have everything.
