2.0 out of 5 stars What the heck happened to Tom Dicillo?, January 15, 2003

By	Robert S Michaels "bobm" (Fairfield, CT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can't totally pan a film that features a nude scene from Liz Hurley (no matter how brief), but overall, this thing stinks. In no way does it measure up to anything DiCillo's done previous to this. I like all of the actors here, but they're given basically nothing to work with here, short of some really anemic Tarantinoisms. Avoid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Movie ever, March 17, 2003

By	movielover - See all my reviews

This movie was awesome. It has so many plots that come together very well in the end. I couldn't stop watching the movie i have watched over 5 times in one day. I highly recomend it. It has the Guy From scrubs, Dennis Leary, Elizabeth Hurley, and my favorite actor Steve Buschemi.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just tries way too hard..., January 30, 2003

By	Eduardo Nietzsche (Houston) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

...to be oh-so-hip, so Tarantino-esque. More of an attempt to project "attitude" or "vibe" than any real or spontaneous substance. There are a few funny and satirical moments in there, but overall it has the amateurish feel of a made-for-TV movie.

Result: sad waste of some prime acting talent, especially Steve Buscemi adn Luis Guzman. Dennis Leary has always been a mediocre actor with a very limited range, and he's in way over his head as the central character here. Elizabeth Hurley is gorgeous to look at but also possesses a very limited acting range, and WHAT nude scene are the other reviewers talking about? I didn't see anything more than the side of her breasts for about 2 seconds! C'mon guys, you can get more revealing pics of her on the Internet for Chrissakes! As much as I like her, it definitely WASN'T worth sitting through this one.
