The Rise and Fall of an American Scumbag

The Rise and Fall of An American Scumbag is the new and fourth full length feature by Denver auteur filmmaker Dakota Bailey. The film features five interconnected stories that revolve around several bottom dwelling characters that include Johnny (Dakota Bailey), an unstable drug addicted hitman, his boss/drug kingpin Pat (Alaskan Cinder), Billy, (Darien Fox) a sadistic sociopath with a scheme to murder his father for his life insurance policy and wheelchair bound Vietnam Veteran/vigilante Wheeling Deals (L.B.). The film documents the rise and eventual self destruction of the characters and takes the viewer on a nihilistic journey full of drugs and death.

Great movie see it a while back and just loved it and had to have it on your player to own it

If you love movies with a touch of suspense, this film is the one to see.

It takes a very good movie to keep my attention. I found I had to remind myself to keep breathing!!

This movie really exceeded my expectations. Dakota Ray is very talented.

What an incredible film, a mesmerizing ride from the first to the last moment. I couldn't believe when it ended that it was already finished; time appeared to go away quickly when watching this.

It is beautiful and it's such a pleasure to see Darien Fawkes and Vincent Gelyo in roles they deserve.

My hat off to lead cast and Dakota Ray. Great job!!! And I am going to see it again.
