Loser

"Losers" is a movie that was released in 1996, directed by Kirk Harris who also stars in the movie alongside Jonathon Chaus and Norman Saleet. The movie is about a young man named Bruce (played by Kirk Harris) who has just been released from prison after serving time for drug trafficking. He returns to his small town to start a new life but finds himself struggling to break free from his old acquaintances who want him back into the drug game.

The movie starts with Bruce getting out of jail and deciding to return to his hometown, where his mother (played by Joanna Sanchez) lives. Bruce's mom is happy to see him but is disappointed when she finds out that her son has not changed his ways. Bruce quickly reunites with his old friends, Fred (played by Jonathon Chaus) and Jack (played by Norman Saleet). Fred and Jack are still involved in the illegal drug business but are struggling to keep their head above water after their previous supplier cut them off.

Bruce tries to leave his troubled past behind and gets a job working at a convenience store. He also meets a girl named Lily (played by Michelle Clunie) who is studying to become a teacher. Bruce and Lily soon become involved in a romantic relationship, and Bruce finally feels like he is starting to move on from his shady past. However, things take a turn for the worse when Fred and Jack convince Bruce to help them sell drugs. Bruce decides to help his friends and quickly gets sucked back into the dangerous world of drug trafficking.

The rest of the movie deals with the consequences of Bruce's decision. He finds himself being pulled back into the drug world, and his relationship with Lily starts to suffer. Bruce becomes paranoid and starts to think that everyone is out to get him. He also faces mounting pressure from the police who are trying to put a stop to the drug trade in the town.

The movie does a great job of showing the effects that drug addiction can have on a person's life. It also highlights the struggles that people face when trying to break free from a life of crime. The characters are complex, and the acting is excellent. Kirk Harris, in particular, gives a standout performance as the troubled Bruce.

The movie also has a great soundtrack that features songs from bands like Pearl Jam and The Rolling Stones. The music adds to the overall mood of the movie and helps to create a genuinely haunting atmosphere.

Overall, "Losers" is a powerful movie that deals with some heavy themes. It is not for everyone, but fans of gritty, character-driven dramas will find much to love here. The movie is a reminder that even when you try to leave your difficult past behind, the past has a tendency to catch up with you.
