It begins on Hooker's wedding night. After the ceremony his friends celebrate while doing their assigned tasks. In one scene Michael, the handsome ring leader, has a meeting in a restroom with a strange cop. Later, four gang members are seen using violence to force a gambler to pay his debts. Afterward these four decide they need more compensation for their grim work. It is Michael, who fancies himself far more clever than he is, who comes up with the idea that they team up and take on their crime boss Leo. Unfortunately, his plans go awry and more bloodshed ensues. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Emanuel Levy, Variety
The shadow of Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs looms large over this suspenseful crime drama about the psychological dynamics of a bunch of lowlifes who rebel against their boss to some bloody effects.

Brandon Judell, Detour Magazine
Mr. Amos, who's also producer of the film, no doubt had to copulate with himself to get the part. The criteria certainly was neither talent nor screen chemistry.
