Plot: One of the most engaging race-against-time films of recent memory. Fix follows the 15-hour journey that Milo, who is filming the entire day, and his reluctantly-involved girlfriend Bella have as they pick up Milo's brother Leo from jail. The trio have until 8 PM to get him to drug rehab or he'll be forced to serve a lengthy prison sentence. Very much a road movie that uses Los Angeles and its geography as a character, Fix is manically paced, as Leo has countless small and large tasks to take care of before he gets to rehab, including visits to virtually all parts of LA with virtually every type of LA denizen. Coupled with his strict deadline, Leo must also come up with the funds to pay for rehab or he won't be admitted. Although faced with time and financial targets, Leo somehow manages to make the most of his final 15 hours of freedom. What keeps the film on a relentlessly exciting and engaging trajectory is not only the speedy performance of Shawn Andrews as Leo, but the cast of characters he, Milo and Bella meet along the way, including married women, crazed lawyers, spiritual friends, unsavory mechanics and understanding police. Add to this mix classic cars, a slobbering dog, as well as Bella's initial distaste for the task at hand, and Fix is a completely satisfying movie. From its interesting shooting style of the entire story being filmed by Milo (director Tao Ruspoli in a terrific dual role) to its touching conclusion, this is a feature film that signals a wonderful new voice in American independent feature filmmaking.

Kick ass
Added 3/9/2010

Fresh and exuberant. This is cutting-edge style and talent. The cool and collective energy of the folks behind the movie spools out onto every frame of FIX and supersedes anything that you will see at the movies. FIX takes you on a ride of Odyssean proportions. You will not want to miss this!

Wonderful

Very enjoyable indie shot guerilla style through the kaleidoscopic backdrop of Los Angeles; from the hills to Venice to Watts, with this style of filmmaking you feel as though you are part of the very compelling odyssey. The main characters are infectiously likable, and the many other characters experienced along the way are all fantastically memorable while being very real. I loved it, and felt inspired as a filmmaker.

Not your typical movie, but still great none the less. It is definately worth it to watch it. It is a great and inspiring story, that allows you to feel like you are actually in the movie and one of the characters. Everyone involved in the movie did an amazing job and Tao did an amazing job directing as well!!!! The different camera angles offered a fresh and different look, and the story its self was great. An amazing movie, and really worth it!

That movie is one of the best i have ever seen.
it's funny and sad.
It's unusual and rare.
The shots are BEAUTIFUL.
The theme is really great. An emotional narrative story shot on a documentary way. (don't know if my sentence is correct, i don't speak english really well)
A road trip i now dream to take with the brilliant crew and cast that made this rough diamond.
I just can say that i LOVE it.
can't wait to receive the DVD and watch it over and over again.
Just watch it, buy it. Laugh and Dream.
Thank you for this movie.

oddly compelling, worth a look
Added 2/11/2010

Saw this film at a screening, and it really is a ground's eye view of a Los Angeles we don't usually see, with some excellent performances. Annoying at times, but only because it's a window into a loved one's addiction and the behavior that goes with it. Shot docu-style, but with no irritating giggly camera. Cast is fabulous. There is some wonderful subtle(and one not so subtle) character driven humor, and a cast of supporting characters that add to the feeling that you're wandering through the environs of L.A.. Editing unique, music worth owning.
