Crave (2012)

Crave: Directed by Charles de Lauzirika. With Josh Lawson, Emma Lung, Ron Perlman, Edward Furlong. A downtrodden photographer, haunted by the urban violence and decay around him, retreats into an inner world of dark fantasies.

“Aiden (Josh Lawson) is a loser and a photographer working in Detroit. He likes to take pictures of crime scenes. Heu0026#39;s fallen for young girl next door Virginia (Emma Lung). Often he imagines heroic fantasies to deal with the decaying city life and his personal failings. Ron Perlman plays his confidant police detective Pete. And itu0026#39;s real nice to see Edward Furlong as Virginiau0026#39;s druggie boyfriend.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis could have been a great dark little film. It needs a better and edgier actor in the lead. Josh Lawson is a little too average. The style is competent but without the extreme tension that this movie deserves. His constant internal monologue probably has something to do with that. It breaks up any tension that the movie builds up. I wonder if Edward Furlong would make a better lead. I think he has more intensity, and he could play creepy better.”
