Directed by Mark Mann
For most audiences, this film will probably be quite unwatchable. The plot is negligible, the characters uninteresting and unattractive. Keanu Reeves appears, with his often nonchalant style performance, as a man in New York City with connections with two young women (both Australian actresses). The plot summary on the IMDb sums it up effectively and tersely:
Three adults during a single day in New York City, one filled with sex, drugs, and indecision.
There are many street scenes, Reeves driving around, drug atmosphere, sexual relationships, and, towards the end, quite a deal of reminiscing about past life which makes the film slightly more interesting at this stage – although many audiences, most audiences?, will have left the film by this.
