Extraordinary entertainment for so many reasons!! The script and story, intelligent, twisty and turny, (blimey I didn't see that bit coming). Dark yet amusing and funny. The acting and actors, a wicked and vivid masterpiece of characters and then, the focus of blue sky and buildings in that weird, brickbuilt Masonic style of American architecture in yesteryear (you know, Gotham City and all that). Wowza!! Awesome acting and a massive advert for Smoking, especially to see a cigar become an extension of personality and diabolical scheming. Nothing to dislike, everything to admire and one last thing, The detective with the weird hairstyle, was also the creator of this marvellous romp?

Writer and Director Chris Zuhdi ("Goodnight, Charlene") crafts a slow-burn neo-noir thriller in his film "Neon Cactus." The plot is excellent and keeps the viewer guessing from the beginning to the very end. The acting is superb - Paul T. Taylor and Manny Greenfield are an incredible acting duo in this film, and when the two are sharing the screen, it is like watching two masters at the top of their game. The cinematography is meticulous, effectively capturing the nuances and idiosyncrasies of each character. Writer and Director Chris Zuhdi continues to prove his skills as a writer and director in this intriguing film.

Neon Cactus is an excellent crime drama. Stanley and his wife Maureen both hire the same person to kill each other. It is a very intriguing premise, but the story unfolds from there in a way a definitely did not expect. This movie took a little while to get going, but once it did, I was on the edge of my seat for the entire rest of the runtime. The performances from the main characters were fantastic, and I was especially impressed with Manny Greenfield's performance as Johnny Rocket. Writer/Director Chris Zuhdi deserves recognition for this film. The use of intermittent time-lapse footage, a musical score that often sounded like it was coming through in reverse, and extended overlay effects were all very unique and added so much to the movie. This film deserves more attention, check it out!
