Neil, a self proclaimed film geek and owner of Gumshoe video, has always been content to live vicariously through his favorite films noir. But when he meets Violet, a real-life femme fatale, his mundane world gets turned upside down and the line between reality and the movies quickly begins to blur. Will Neil step up and embrace a life full of adventure or retreat back to his comfortable couch? ––IMDb

Pure drivel. This has got to be one of the worst films I've seen in a long while. Cillian Murphy is so much better than shit like this.

God. This film was such a modern day take on Bonnie and Clyde dynamic. I often recommend it to friends as a proper introduction to Cillian Murphy.

The reason why I love indie movies. This film is one of my favortive romance-comedies. Praise for Lucy Lui. Her character Violet is so amusing and Lui is an absolute cutie. I can totally relate to Neil myself because I'm a sucker for movies and a cinema fanatic, but I can't beat his friends in the scene where they guessed where Violet stopped the movie before even checking the box.
