a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Here's one of those fresh, original films, yet slightly dry, that went well under the radar, but deserves attention. Opening with a bloody opening, not many other bloody parts follow, except for an ugly dead guy rotting away in a pool, where the blood looks like coolay, we follow the misadventures of a loser type guy Zane (tailor made for the role as Joey, a thief, where a dissatisfied, detective (Mcgavin in a great part) is always watching. There are comic hit and misses I found, plus some surprising scenes, sexy Beals, (who's really good here) a used girl with suicidal tendencies, singing for one. Zane of course falls for her, where a dangerous romance ignites, where we meet a collection of dangerous oddball characters, some just oddball, one young dude coming across as David Faustino, who becomes a another victim. These actors all give good performances, James Le Gros, giving us a bit of a laugh, as Beal's last ex. The baddie duo, the fatman and the beefcake, we'll call em', and they do make a cute couple, who kidnap Zane as they think he might know where their bags of heroin of gone. He encounters them a few times throughout the movie, escaping and getting caught again. Take the movie, what you will, depending on your taste, in this offbeat crime comedy, The Dark Backward, another original. The movie is an enthusiastic effort where it's Zane's performance that engages, as a guy who never can really get himself together. You too, don't realize how good looking he was or how much a a good actor he was, especially when watching this.

Not much here except a well manicured Billy Zane and at least a bunch of weird for weird's sake characters revolving around a plot that would fit on a paper napkin. I'd be the first one to admit I'm a sucker for even marginal dark comedy, but here's an idea, at least have a point. "Blood & Concrete" meanders along for an overlong 97 minutes, introducing one bizarre character after the next, but the story goes nowhere. The odd cartoon-like goings on really wear thin rather quickly, and since none of the characters are even remotely likable, the whole thing becomes a so what. This isn't even close to a good black comedy, in fact it isn't even close to a good movie. - MERK

I watched this movie for Billy Zane, and fell in love with it for Jennifer Beals and the Wonderful Song "One Girl in a Million."If you watch this movie and immediately don't buy Vinny Golia's CDs, you have much better control than I do.Put up with the first ten minutes, and you'll be swept off your feet.

You've probably never heard of this, as it went straight to video, but if you can track down a copy you're in for a treat. This is a really twisted, bizarre little movie that Billy Zane starred in way before he had done Titanic...heck, before he had done Sniper for that matter. It is waaaaay over the top and completely hilarious with a brilliant cast and wonderfully contrived plot. Besides Billy Zane this great cast includes Jennifer Beals (don't miss her perfect song "one girl in a million"), James LeGros, Harry Shearer (up there with Derek Smalls and Mr. Burns as his best characterizations), and Darren McGavin (as good - if not better - a performance than in A Christmas Story). After you see this you'll wonder why you've never heard of it before. Very funny. A great find.
