Critic Reviews

  • Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com

    I am not slamming this Roger Avary film for not being a Quentin Tarantino film. I am slamming it for not being a good Roger Avary film.

  • Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

    An ultra-violent but vapid crime caper that owes as much to Tarantino as to film noir, both American and French.

  • Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

    A bummer.

  • Rob Thomas, Capital Times (Madison, WI)

    An ugly, mean movie that represents the low point for Tarantino knockoffs -- and Tarantino actually produced it!

    Nothing original here. A good cast wasted (No pun intended). Has Roger Avary even been to Paris?

    Directed by Roger Avery, Produced by Quentin Tarantino, amidst the height of the 90?s Cult drug fuelled storylines, topped with violent criminals and a chaotic bank robbery. Some pretty good camera shot interpretations and probably the role Eric Stoltz is best known for (apart… More

    Pretty fun bank-robbery-gone-wrong film. Nothing new to the genera, but very entertaining. The main villian Eric was a pretty terrible person, which makes for a great antagonist. Moral of the story?: Be nice to prostitutes, because they may save your life in a hostile situtation.
