Johnny (Dakota Bailey), Chester (Fred Epstein) and Billy (Darien Fawkes) have one thing in common: They're scumbags! Johnny is a hitman addicted on heroin, Chester's a drugdealer who isn't at all opposed to rape and murder, and Billy's a psychotic ex-con who's mind's mostly on how to have his revenge on his ex (Katy Katzar) and her new boyfriend (Bill Schafer). At least on paper, the three of them are allies in a world where everybody seems to be a complete asshole, but neither of the three is honest, loyal or stable even, so it seems just a matter of time before the three clash ...

American Scumbags is most certainly a film that doesn't hold back, so do expect a film full of violence and depravity that is likely to shock you in one way or another, wrapped into three loosely connected stories that are not for the feeble-minded. And if you want to be shocked, you've most certainly hit the jackpot here, but what this film unfortunately lacks is characters to identify with: In the truest sense of the title, all the leads and supporting roles here are scumbags, which also means you can't feel with them or have much compassion for them - and this is a bit of a shame as the film's well-made and features some (in a perverted way) fun ideas - it's just a film you watch to be freaked by out rather than get into it, narratively.
