"[DESPERATION RISING] is right up there with Samurai Cop. Itโs better than Kill Squad." -Dan Budnik, BLEEDING SKULL
What if David Lynch dropped acid and remade SCARFACE? This is just one of thousands of questions that will not be answered while your brain is invaded by DESPERATION RISING. Starring Nick โSon of Johnโ Cassavetes and dozens of real-life Los Angeles gang members who appear as part of a rehabilitation program, this is the best movie on earth about a stockbroker seminar that turns into a co***ne-fueled rage war. DESPERATION RISING is filled with dad karate, phone s*x, real s*x, co***ne, humans exploding, talking parrots, U*i battles, more co***ne, and rappinโ kids. This psychedelic sleaze-burger could only be better if director/star Jason Holt wrote and recorded Casio-soaked yacht rock songs with titles like โGet Ready To Ripโ and โLove Bloomsโ for the soundtrack. Oh wait. He did!
