ALSO CHECK OUT - How I Murdered Myself 

This is a 'Multiple Perspective' movie, meaning we keep on revisiting the same event from different characters' point of views and each time something more is revealed hurtling the story further along the dark, twisted path.   

More such movies are Rashomon, Vantage Point, Pulp Fiction and a few more (one of which I will share later). 



This is about a drug deal that is told from three perspectives. There's this girl called Ronna who needs money to pay her rent. She is working in the evening when she's approached by two guys who are wondering if she can help them score some drugs. 

She isn't into all this business, but as the regular dealer and her colleague (Simon) isn't there she decides to step into his shoes and help the two guys to get what they want, hoping to get what she wants in return  - that is to make enough money to pay her rent. 

She knows where to find what they are looking for. But what she doesn't know is that it's all a set up and if the deal goes down she won't need to pay the rent as she will be staying in prison instead for the next few years. 

She takes the two guys to Simon's dealer for the drugs. But while trying to make the deal she grows suspicious and in a panic she flushes the drugs down the toilet replacing the ecstasy with aspirin instead (clever move!). 

And thus starts a crazy journey through the dark night where we meet a horny gay couple who run over a girl, a crazy cop and his equally nutty wife, and a group of youngsters on a night out (Simon and his friends)...

Once more, the writing here is complex, and smart. It's been compared to Pulp Fiction and in my opinion this is good enough to stand alongside the much bigger and better known opponent and maybe give it a run for its money. 

This is a movie that has a lot 'Go'ing for it. Enough of the poor puns, Go watch this movie if you haven't already.
