Sucker Free City (2004 TV Movie)
8/10
check this one out

Would give it a 9.0 if it was more polished in the end, but i understand where the writer and director is coming from. This "movie" was intended as a Series, until Showtime backtracked and pulled this "feature presentation" BS on Alex Tse. Sad really, this is a very high quality partnership, and the birth child is very nice. The camera work FYI is by Cesar Charlone (Cuidade De Deus, Man on FIre). It explains why they change filters, lighting and texture as they shift location and characters. Very high quality production. The story is very good. It has sharp ironies and is very critical with all the characters, with a very realistic picture of the underground in the City of San Francisco. The inconclusiveness of the end should be understood as a criticism to Showtime for not giving them the chance of a pilot, and as a way to convey that this was meant to be open ended, life goes on for the characters, even though the movie has captured an important part in their life.
