Best part of story, including ending: This movie is so bad that it is good. The acting is laughable, the stories is illogical, and the script is hilariously bad.

Best scene in story: I enjoyed the roof top scene where Mark tries to kill his friend Peter, then right after they both act like it never happened.

Opinion about the main character: Johnny is a very complicated character, mainly because he doesn't make any sense. His accent was at time too strong to understand.
