The story revolves around best friends, Darryl Wright and Jay Cooper. They both have dead-end jobs and make just enough money to get by. Frustrated with the direction of their lives, they are lured into trafficking drugs for a Mafia boss named Harry. Darryl becomes disgusted when he realizes that most of the drugs they're bringing into the city are turning up in the local schools. Darryl confronts Jay about the situation, but Jay convinces Darryl to stay in for awhile to see what happens. It's not until drugs turn up at Darryl's nephew's school, that he realizes they must get out. Their friendship is tried when Jay refuses to quit. Darryl decides to stay in only because he doesn't want to leave his best friend alone in a dangerous situation. It gets really complicated when Harry orders them to kill one of his associates. Throughout the film, Darryl and Jay have girlfriends. They both find true love, but they have a tough time admitting that to each other.
I've been working on this project for about two years, not including writing the script. In my opinion there is not much difference between this film and a Hollywood film. The only differences are, first, that this film is on 16mm and Hollywood uses 35mm, and secondly, the cost. Although I found the cost of the film to be very expensive, by Hollywood's standards it is just peanuts. Now that the film is complete, I plan on entering film festivals nation-wide. Here's the Review of "Two Good Guys" from Herald News Film Critic, Michael Freeman.
