About
You’ll like Lowlife if you enjoy grim underworld stories with twists, rough-edged indie energy, and over-the-top violence; Not for you if you want a coherent, mainstream-friendly thriller, like The Devil's Candy or Villains.
Pros: wild, twisty plot; great performances; goes for boldness | Cons: harsh opening scenes; gory, violence-heavy; messy, confusing pacing
