Review Rating: 8/10
By far, this is Bill Plympton's best movie yet. His incredible use of angles and light make this a fantastic movie to behold. The film opens with a tongue in cheek humorous moment and as the story builds, you are introduced to a host of characters. Each character is connected to the next and our lead character, Angel, is quite a jerk. Utilizing sound effects and animation versus dialogue, Bill Plympton weaves a masterful story of redemption as Angel struggles with his own conscience and the greedy desires of those around him.
