modest, solid little entertainment

flick takes the STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, WITH A FRIEND LIKE HARRY, etc. model of an unwanted double committing crimes that act to frame the hero because they fit with his motives. it's an old premise; in fact, everything about this unpretentious low-budgeter has the feel of a well-worn baseball glove- old but sturdy, tried but true, comfortably threadbare. you know all the grooves at first touch. the neat little spin here is the setting of post-secondary discontent; the hero is the disaffected misanthrope who scorns pretensions in others while doing nothing himself- a type so familiar to anyone under 35, especially in a college setting, that it's well on its way to becoming a new cliche. the bruno to his guy is a cutesy little psycho, hip and self-assured, who carries out the innocent's bitter "f___ the world" thoughts....it's simple stuff, really, but the film's wonderfully modest ambitions actually felt like a relief to me. it aims low and hits bang on; there's nothing at all wrong with that. and i loved the disaffected-slacker spin on the whole thing; the flick is cool as a gentle admonishment of sour gen-x (or whatever it's called now) disaffection, giving an example of how a bad attitude will give you a bad time in life. misanthropy sucks, man.......
