Illtown

(Artisan Entertainment)

This ambitious third feature from Nick Gomez (Laws of Gravity, New Jersey Drive) is a surreal exploration into a neon South Florida world of stylish drug pushers and junkies. It's told in a languid, abstract way that conjures up an often hypnotic mood -- but mostly it just feels self-conscious. With Michael Rapaport as a veteran drug dealer who wants to escape the addiction business and settle into family life with his pregnant girlfriend (Lili Taylor).
