Product Description Behind the backdrop of gritty downtown LA where the homeless roam and the rich make their money, Iliad and his friends make a living stealing money from drug dealers. Through a network of junkies they find the dealers locations and hit them hard. They destroy the drugs on the scene and escape with large sums of cash, fearless in the face of the lethal and dangerous narcotics merchants. Moment by moment minds and lives are lost as Iliad leads his group along the jagged edge of good and evil. Review · "Insomnia Manica is an elegantly shot mood piece the intense Kalili has a striking screen presence." -- Kevin Thomas - Los Angeles Times

Beware
Don't be fooled by the two five-star reviews on here (as I was). They both are obviously connected to the movie in some way. The other one-star review pretty much says it all. I just wanted to chime in and save another unsuspecting victim from having to sit through this excruciatingly bad movie.

Blah.
Bad story/plot, dialogue -- very bad, acting...not even bad enough to qualify as so bad it's good. You are likely to laugh at some moments of unintentional humor, but nothing you'll want to ever waste time watching again. Perhaps if they would have fleshed out an actual story and plot and cut all the senseless dialogue that has the characters bantering worthless words and did something about the acting (different actors and/or more rehearsal time), this could have been something. It was like filming an early draft of a bad script.

Intriguing ,moody piece surprises this viewer
Acting is top notch as this film captures a gritty moody street atmosphere. Daston Kalili does a tour de force job as lead, and writer and director. Would recommend for anyone looking for cutting edge new filmaking.

Pushes the edge of film making.
Daston Kalili sparks with moments of genius in his first feature film. I can not wait to see his second.
