This is a very good film, it's a view of life most are unaware and uninterested. Is it long? Yes, it is; but, there are only a few too many minutes at the end. Visually, thee are some nice shots around the refinery and roads near the Texas coast. Also, this is not a movie providing instant gratification, it's a story, a long story, with no package resolution at the end. The main character is a most self centered and unlikeable individual. There are so many points when you hope this guy will do the right thing, but he doesn't, and with every turn he reveals the worst of himself and humanity. Mikey is dishonest, manipulative, totally despicable. While the entire cast is great, with Simon Rex doing a wonderful job portraying this miserable human Mikey, Bree Elrod is flawless, delivering a very sympathetic character. Hang in there with this one, it's worth it.
