Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

SnoopyStyle Avery Paul (Glen Gould) is a street fighter and an ex-con. One day, he's approach by Ava. She hires him to abduct drug-addicted Jan (Amanda Crew) for $20k from her criminal gang and deliver her back to her family. When he takes her, he demands more money but then there is more to her story.This is definitely a small Canadian indie with the prerequisite lack of budget. That's not that big of a deal. It actually works well with the gritty drug scene. Glen Gould is not a notable name nor does he have a big screen presence. However he does have a little bit of Bronson in him, and this has a bit of that grimy low-life Death Wish vibe. Then the movie gets more violent after the turn. That's when a more experienced director could get better looking shots. Michael Melski doesn't have the skills yet or the style. However there is an edginess to this low budget indie.

shellycaldeira808 Honestly, I thought this was going to be a peek at the day in the life of a drug addict whore. Let me tell you, it was far from that! The worse part about this movie was that it was over. Its funny, it did not end when I thought it would and when it finally did conclude, I wanted it to go on and on so that I could see the future lives of the main characters!! This movie has just about everything great films are made of minus humor... but there was really no place for laughs in this journey. It was suspenseful, mysterious and very well acted. It was also painful at times, but in a good way. Give this movie a view... I can't imagine ANYONE not thoroughly enjoying it!

LeonLouisRicci This is a deep, gritty, richly realized Film that is a Low-Budget Story that is a surprising survey of Street Life and Street Characters that explores Addiction, Child Trafficking, Family, and Redemption in more dimensions than is usually expected in this type of thing.As it unfolds layer upon layer of Personalities and situations that are realistically portrayed as the Director restrains from the usual Cinema Flares and shows this stuff unfettered. The Acting is superb all around and it is an uncompromising look at a Zone that must seem like Twilight to theses Folks who are all on the verge of entering the Darkness.This unknown and unseen Movie is worth checking out for Neo-Noir Fans and even those who like no-holds-barred Crime Films. it is authentic, compelling and somewhat Original. A Mini-Sleeper that should gain more of an Audience as word gets out.

wings19 I saw Charlie Zone last night and was very impressed. It was well written and fast paced, and the acting was fabulous. I've lived in Halifax, so it was fun to see the city -- albeit its violent, seedier side -- as the backdrop of a major film. The movie was very well received at the 2011 Atlantic Fim Festival (winning four awards) and is finally enjoying a deserved limited release in Canadian theatres. I hope it does well enough to merit more screenings across the country. Get out and see this movie if you get the chance! Nova Scotian writer Joseph LeClair and writer/director Michael Melski have a great future ahead of them.
