Plot

"...PSYCHOLOGICAL FIREWORKS..." - Time Out New York

Sebastian (Oscar winner Martin Landau) sits hunched over a typewriter, typing out his demons. As he types, we are transported to a time he has suppressed. A time when, after years of separation, he and his three brothers reunite. As their mother lies motionless upstairs, two sets of brothers with two opposing plans collide: one plan, to end their mother's suffering; the other, a search for their father's insurance money.

Kyle ("Queer as Folk's" Gale Harold), the youngest brother, grapples with his sanity and Sebastian's deadly plan as their two brothers, Raymond, an escaped convict ("General Hospital's" Blake Gibbons), and his sidekick Jack (John Winthrop Philbrick) descend upon the house with party girls (Dusty Paik and Rainer Judd), guns and booze. Buttons are pushed, substances get abused and plans go awry leading ultimately to complete chaos.

At the peak of this emotionally raw and darkly humorous evening, the games start to intensify and become real. Kyle turns the tables on Ryamond and Jack, beating them at their own game, if only for a moment, but it may be too late.

What brings them all back together will tear them apart as this dysfunctional family reunion soon turns into a wake, shaking the survivors to the core.

    I found it very difficult to like the characters in this movie. I did feel sorry for two of them and there was some decent acting. The story was mildly interesting in it's questioning of people's motives and the differing personalities that emerged from essentially the same background.
