Buddy Duress is a real-life dirtbag and he shined here. He's also in Safdies' Heaven Knows What.I liked the dude who plays Ray, his character is a little annoying but I think that's on purpose. Plus he prolly has some of the funniest parts in the movie.
Also dude really is like his character, he's actually in Rikers right now. Imagine acting in a critically acclaimed movie acting opposite a famous actor and then throwing it all away lol.
One of my favorite scenes.Great movie, been thinking about rewatching soon. Despite having one of the most revolting "protagonists' the film is incredibly compelling and you end up wanting this coward to win (if only to save his much more sympathetic brother). The way various people's lives get fukked up by crossing his path from beginning to end is wild.
