Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Actor Kiefer Sutherland makes his directorial debut with this ho-hum film about a threadbare subject: a drug heist that goes badly, resulting in the bad guys having to kidnap two people and the ensuing complications. A fine cast assures good performances all around, but it's hard to go down this narrative road for the umpteenth time in the '90s. One bonus is the presence of Kim Dickens, an interesting actress who started becoming more visible in movies in 1997 and 1998 (Zero Effect, Great Expectations). The DVD release has optional full-screen and widescreen presentations, optional French and Spanish soundtracks and subtitles, and theatrical trailer. --Tom Keogh

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Movie With Some Great Music, September 1, 2006

By	Tami "breathing in & out" (California) - See all my reviews

Jude Cole's beautiful song Heaven's Last Attempt plays perfectly to the opening scene. Other great music by The Outlaws, Van Morrison, Vibrolush and The Allman Bros. to name a few. The movie itself doesn't always work though just to see the always great Kiefer Sutherland as "Curtis" let loose in a wild, drug-fueled dance to Foghat's Cheteau Lafitte '59 Boogie would make it worth viewing. Fortunatly Kiefer delivers more than just a dance. Though Curtis is a sociopath, you can't help but like him because of the perfectly delivered comedic moments that Kiefer gives him. Vincent Gallo, Kim Dickens and Kevin Pollak are all great as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best road movie I ever saw, September 12, 2005

By	M. Valentine "Braindead Sci-Fi fan" (Paris, France) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm not usually big on road movies:bad guys botch-up a heist and spend at least the next 80 minutes on the road.Man is this one different, okay still the same starting point but that's about it.I rented this one as soon as it came out being such a huge kiefer sutherland fan and it just blew me away even though I saw it with the always awful french dubbing (yeah that was the pre-dvd era).
So as I said I don't usually go for road movies because they tend to be good for 5 minutes at the beginnig and the end, the rest of the time fighting against the urge to sleep, but this one kept me gripped all the way:good acting, great caracters, good directing, what more do you want.
Tonight I will finally watch it with Kiefer's uncomparable voice (god bless the guys who invented the dvd format, but if I ever find the guy who got the idea of dubbing for international sales...)

3.0 out of 5 stars Bonnie & Clyde in the 90`s?, March 15, 2004

By	gonn1000 (Portugal) - See all my reviews

This interesting road movie/ crime drama is a worthwile directional debut for Kiefer Sutherland, a gripping low budget effort that easily stands above many disposable mainstream action blockbusters. The story brings nothing new, consisting in another heist situation where we are presented to a bunch of criminals and their operations. What makes the movie work is the character development, since these criminals are three-dimensional individuals and the viewer actually gets to know them as flawed people and not merely one-sided badass charicatures. Sutherland gets some ideas from a couple of Tarantino and Roger Rodriguez` films, going for the young-villains-on-the-run perspective with some witty and offbeat scenes, but overall he makes it work despite these influences. The acting is overall consistent, with Sutherland himself, infant terrible Vincent Gallo, Kevin Pollack and Kim Dickens. Even if it`s not terribly original, "Truth or Consequences N.M." works well as a whole and doesn`t seem like a rehash of previous ideas (even if it presents some predictable moments).
An enticing, character-driven gangster-movie.
