Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
sloppyjoewhisky Good entertainment! The script must have been written in one week or so. They probably only had money to hire Madsen and Hopper for a couple of days. The romance line is pretty weak. We don't get to know who the brute is. Hopper is changing his accent midway in the movie. The shoot-out is just plain boring. Plus that Sweeney fellow had the facial expressions of a well groomed hipster but... I liked it! Hopper and foremost Roberts are not taking their acting real seriously, and it shows, but they seem to be having a good time. My opinion: enjoy this film but don't take it to seriously. In other words: don't see this movie without alcohol.
deafskorpianking ending spoiler....this was such a good movie at time it got a little bit slow but then you would get right back into it and it was great. the plot was somewhat thin but it didn't really matter in this movie everyone was corrupt and after this one guy who accidently came across stolen money plates. it has a great cast, especially ice-t, dennis hopper and michael madson among a lot of other people and it was crazy how everyone wound up crossing one another. basically it was like 6 different "groups" ran across one another and at the end, i was cracking up and blown away it was great everyone got into a whole big shootout and only one guy was left but then he suddenly realized the money wasn't there in the first place he got ripped off by his girlfriend!!! what a movie :)
Mike A very clever screen play. The movie is definitely a 'dark comedy'. I first thought, "Oh no, not another junk movie with blazing guns". But as the plot twisted and intertwined I had a new respect for the writer. Some parts are predictable and others will take you by surprise. A very shrewd lady. Well worth the time to watch.
Elektr0n1k I took a gamble by renting this one DVD - it certainly had potential, with the good storyline and great actors (Madsen, Hopper).After 15 minutes however, things really went downhill and it became obvious that this is a total Tarantino ripp-off. The story is very similar to True Romance and the music reminded me of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction - except that these weren't the original tracks from the 70s :)It's really a b-grade ganster movie with none of the subtle filming or dialogue we get in Tarantino's movies.4/10
