    Nothing good about this story of drug-addled bank robbers. Supposed to be a cult action-comedy. Reminded me of Tarantino's work (which I do not like either).

    Probably crap, but I love Joe Strummer!

    A story of blood, money, guns, coffee, and sexual tension.

    It's so bad it becomes being good and then goes back to be bad and then good again

    Wow what a mess. Neither a fraction of the style or substance of the spaghetti westerns it spoofs (even in a punk sense). What a waste of an interesting collection of cast that actually might have tried to make the script work..except Courtney Love who's an annoying cunt in thi...( read more)s one (oh when isn't she?). Watch Repo Man 20 times over to make up for this disappointing fiasco.

    significantly disapointing. theres no point to it. nor any music. its just doesnt work. this society of invalids and guns.. so sad.

    very strange film not one of alex coxs' best efforts, but i'd say there was some fun when the cameras' stopped rolling...
