Editorial Review:
Criminal Psychologist, Jake Nyman (Robert Forster), is taking a much need vacation from responsibility. An experimental road trip during which every decision will be made at a flip of a coin. Meanwhile, Sandra Thomas (Amanda Plummer), disenchanted professional, is en route to pick up her flunked out sister, Alice (Fairuza Balk), at a cheap motel before continuing on to visit their ailing mother. After being forced off the road by a mysterious assailant, Sandra is picked up by Jake, whose coin-flipping amoral attitude quickly excites her own desire to break a few rules or worse. Jake and Sandra’s dark romance is soon driven by chance acts of crime and kindness, all governed by a flip of a coin – At least until Sandra disappears and Jake unwittingly picks up her suspicious sister Alice…
American Perfekt Reviews:
A Perfekt little film 
2008-10-10 - One of my favorite films. If the picture had done any business, Robert Forster would have been nominated for an Oscar. It's a quirky and more than a little off-beat film - not really a a mystery so much as a strange adventure film. Give it a chance, you'll love it. And where else can you see Amanda Plummer naked?
everything isn't what it seems
2007-12-05 - i loved this film cause of the director's vision and performances.it is a bizarre film where the second half is completely different than the first.robert forster is terrific in this film.amanda plummer is annoyingly perfect too in her role.as the film unfolds you realize all the details from the first half play a key role in the second half.i don't wanna ruin it for you,so i won't go into anymore detail into it.trust me,all will lead to a great ending.
Don't waste your time and electricity. 
2006-06-16 - Maybe, just maybe, this could have been a good movie in the right hands.Somewhere buried deep was a plot.The dialogue was cheesy and the acting was amateurish. It was too "David Lynch"!Not funny enough to be a comedy, and not serious enough to be a drama. And the ending just leaves you hanging. The budget had to be $1.00, which, ironically, was the denomination of the coin he kept flipping. I forced myself to watch it hoping against hope that I could find some redeeming quality, but, alas, I could not.I ended up throwing the tape in the trash.(I didn't even rewind it!) I couldn't bear to inflict this pain on anyone else.
Chances are....
2005-07-30 - you're gonna like this movie! All is not what it seems in this road thriller. Every actor is cast perfectly. The story unfolds nicely and calmly, and then shifts---at the flip of a coin. A twisted tale where situations appear as one thing, but really soething sinister is going on. It's really difficult to talk about a movie with alot of plot twists without ruining it. All persons involved with this project deserve a high-five for a thrilling suspence movie!
