Decisions is an action-packed thriller that takes place on the gritty streets of Los Angeles. Directed by and starring Anthony Vitale, and also featuring the late Corey Haim in one of his final roles, the film follows a group of friends as they get caught up in a dangerous world of drugs, gangs, and violence. The story centers around three childhood friends - Eddie, Chris, and Tommy - who are now grown men struggling to make a living in a tough economy. Eddie (played by Matt Medrano) is a struggling actor who can't seem to catch a break, while Chris (Anthony Vitale) runs a small-time drug operation to pay the bills. Tommy (Corey Haim) is the most straight-laced of the group, working a 9-to-5 job and trying to keep his friends out of trouble.
But trouble soon finds them anyway, as Chris's drug business attracts the attention of a violent gang leader named Mr. Vito (played by David Fernandez Jr.). When one of Eddie's auditions goes wrong and he accidentally witnesses a murder committed by Mr. Vito's men, the three friends find themselves in danger and must decide whether to stand together or go their separate ways.
As they try to evade Mr. Vito and his henchmen, the friends must confront their own demons and make some difficult decisions about who they are and what they want out of life. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a smarmy talent agent (played by Richard Grieco) and a tough but compassionate detective (played by Johnny Rey Diaz).
The film is heavily influenced by classic crime dramas like Scarface and Goodfellas, with plenty of shootouts, car chases, and tense standoffs. But it also has a heart, with the friendship between the three leads providing an emotional anchor that keeps the movie grounded.
One of the most compelling elements of the film is the late Corey Haim's performance. Haim brings a vulnerability and authenticity to the role of Tommy, a man who wants to do the right thing but is constantly pulled in different directions by his friends and by the violent world around him. It's a poignant reminder of the talent and charisma that Haim brought to his many roles over the years.
Decisions is not a perfect film - the dialogue can be clunky at times, and some of the secondary characters are underdeveloped - but it is a solid and entertaining thriller with a lot of heart. It's a fitting tribute to Corey Haim and a testament to the independent filmmaking spirit that drives many of today's most exciting movies.
Decisions is a 2010 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 29 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.2.
