ith
more cussing in the first five minutes (and throughout the film) than
you can shake a stick at, this one offers an authentic insight into
culture of the Texas barroom. Texas Chainsaw Massacre scribe
Kim Henkel again puts a darkly comedic spin on a terrifying subject
-- a group of drunk, potty-mouthed good ol' boys trying to keep their
favorite Houston watering hole, the Alamo, from closing down. These
realistic urban cowboys are colorful to say the least, and for such
a low-budget enterprise, the acting is uniform and the black-and-white
camera work dramatic.
