7cb1d79195 Longstanding friendships are severely tested when three buddies who grew up together botch a drug deal and get played. Devious Beings is a movie that was inspired by the underground rave scene of America (drugs, music, mindlessness). Three youths who were raised in far less than perfect homes, grow to become ecstasy drug runners in their adolescence. When a buyer dies in the midst of a deal, the trio&#39;s quick thinking gets them into trouble, and leads to a chain reaction of bad decisions, problems and consequences between family and friends.<br/><br/>This movie, which was co-written and directed by Chris Mazzei accurately portrays what is going on in America behind the glamorous image that many have created for us to believe. With a strong script and fresh cast, it is indeed a Pulp Fiction for this generation of youths.<br/><br/>BTW, this is an unbiased critique done by someone who never worked on the movie and didn&#39;t get &quot;let go&quot; from it. This movie was your regular low budget, run of the mill &quot;oops, i lost your drugs&quot; kind of movie. But it had really good qualities about it. First off, if you listen carefully during some of the biggest scenes in the movie, christmas music playsthe soundtrack. I thought that was down right hilarious. The movie is serious but really never takes itself too seriously if that makes any sense at all. Definitely a dark comedy though those people who go into it thinking its a serious drama will definitely be disappointed. For those of you like me who just find randomness funny and have a real sick dry sense of humor, you&#39;ll probably love this movie. Some of the lines in this movie are classic and just come out of nowhere. The wrapping present scene is just too funny for words.<br/><br/>Basically without giving anything away (because it does have a few twists), the story is based around 3 childhood friends who are now dealing ecstasy between groups, mafia, etc. One of them has a mother who supposedly has a criminal record a mile long. So in order to keep his mother out of jail, he is blackmailed by a undercover detective that wants him to turn in his two friends and lead them to the head guy behind the dealing. So now he has to make his decision. Like I said, run of the mill storyline. There are a few moments in the movie that drag but they are followed by some great scenes. Don&#39;t rent it expecting oscar award winning acting. It&#39;s just a good ol&#39; movie to sit down with a beer in one hand and relax to. Good stuff :)
