After a particularly nasty breakup, Jesse's (Juan Riedinger) life has
somehow spun out of control and he starts drinking heavily. He still tries
to resolve all the issues troubling him, but his efforts lead nowhere -
and then one day out of the blue crazy chick Manda (Krystal Vrba) wants to
throw herself onto him and become his new girlfriend while Mercedes
(Ashley Rose), a sword-wielding assassin, wants to take him on in a fight.
Jesse wants neither, but can only keep out of harm's way thanks to a
mysterious black man (Reese Alexander). But as that man won't be here
forever, he does some soul-searching, culminating in a three-way
conversation on a theatre stage with his best pal (Jennie Leaver) and a
philosopher friend (Christian Skott) that teaches him to keep his mind and
heart in balance. After that he can make Manda disappear with the blink of
an eye and manages to defeat Mercedes in a swordfight. But he knows
Mercedes will be back ... Who thought it was a good idea making
a film about a guy's soulsearching and coming over his last breakup
involving a female assassin and a swordsplay finale? Well, I'm sure I
didn't. And let's face it, Without Light really doesn't succeed in
properly bringing its lofty ambitions to the screen, and it can't be
denied that most of the philosophy the film tries to sell is nothing more
a collection of truisms you might expect to come across in a cheap self-help book, while
the film's action is rather poorly conceived to say the least. Add to this some
very lame writing and an at best mediocre cast and you come up with a
movie you wish you hadn't seen.
