His prostitute mother, Pura, abandoned him when he was 12. Now a young man, he wants to honor her by opening up a brothel when she is released from prison. For help he enlists a pimp, his junkie girlfriend, and a transsexual who believes that she's royalty, but when he finally picks Mom up from the hospital, he's disappointed to learn that she's underwhelmed with his gift. Worse, the location Ricky chose for the brothel encroaches on ruthless thug El Chino's domain. -- (C) Tribeca

Critic Reviews

Simon Abrams, Slant Magazine
If Neon Flesh is any indication, writer-director Paco Cabezas is a deeply confused Guy Ritchie rip-off artist.
-
Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness
Just another Tarantino photocopy without unique style or verve.
