Product Description
Living in a rundown Pittsburgh neighborhood, four lifelong friends scraping by in low-paying, dead-end jobs come up with a plan to get rich. Inexperienced as they are, the guys soon find themselves running a full-scale prostitution operation…very successfully. Propelled into the kinds of money and lifestyle one could only imagine, they’re about to learn where the road leads when you’re in way over your head. Featuring a standout cast with Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction, Mission: Impossible) as a bemused drug dealer, Bijou Phillips (Made for Each Other), Daniel London (Minority Report), Alexandra Breckenridge (TVs Ex List) and Danny Masterson (That `70s Show), The Bridge to Nowhere takes you on a dark and dangerous adventure!

Standard poor to rich thru drugs & pros,

Another Pittsburgh film straight to DVD, but at least it has been nice seeing some geography make the films of late for that city. Ving Rhames costars, along with one of the guys from That 70s Show, and one of the guys from American Pie, all making up this young cast wading through the Pittsburgh world of drugs, prostitution and getting rich quick.

The story is standard fare: four friends getting nowhere decide to become pimps, drug dealers and Scarface wannabes. Plenty of homages to other films here, but as stated we get some decent footage of a few Pittsburgh suburbs. The acting is fine but definitely overdone at times, even for the smaller Ving Rhames parts as he utilizes his nose spray and q-tips a bit too much. When the guys get their first bling it gets silly, and the amount of narration into how the drug trade works almost becomes a docudrama instead of a film. The film quality is above average throughout, and the 5.1 sound was adequate. The American Pie guy has a few minutes in the beginning and end, Ving has 15 minutes total of playing their main dealer and supplier, so the lion share falls upon Ben Crowley who gets his first leading role here.

No supplements at all, so the 3 stars are all for the film and DVD quality. Not a bad film but not great either, will be worth the time for locale followers and maybe some fans of Bijou Phillips (plays one of the pros).
