Result hovers a little uncertainly between dark comedy and urban drama, but remains compelling thanks to its gritty narrative texture, nervous energy and loose, jumpy structure, which fit well with the DV-shot production's no-frills approach.Full Review

Taylor makes the most of his tiny budget with creative editing and shooting, though his New York City is anemic, narrow, and underpopulated, and his constant repetition of the same damn 60 seconds of music becomes excruciating.Full Review

While the ensemble is as pungent as its assorted clichs will permit, the cruddy video photography and haphazard organization of plot blunt the wry thrust of the material.Full Review
