From the director of Bad Lieutenant comes a riveting tale of extortion, drugs, and greed: 'R XMAS.

It's Christmastime in Manhattan, and one loving couple is leading a dual life: doting socialite parents by day ... and hard-hitting heroin dealers by night. Their dangerous life soon catches up with them when double-crossing dealers attempt to muscle in on the couple's reign over the local supply. When the husband (Lillo Brancato Jr., The Sopranos) is kidnapped, things spin out of control as the wife (Drea de Matteo, Sons Of Anarchy) is confronted with a heart-stopping ultimatum: pay a hefty ransom due in twenty minutes ... or face the unthinkable loss of her beloved.

This should be half price seeing as it's only half a film. I wonder if that's a new commentary or the original? Abel was particularly fucked up on that one.

This is lesser Ferrara, but, like most of his work, has some good moments and is worth seeing. I don't need to own it.
