Raymond (Vincent Gallo) is paroled from prison but decides to do one last robbery to get money to help him successfully woo his love Addy (Kim Dickens). With fellow ex-con Curtis Freley (Sutherland) and his friend Marcus Weans (Mykelti Williamson), who is really an undercover narcotics agent, Raymond botches a drug heist. Fleeing to Mexico, they pick up a pair of young yuppie lovers, Donna (Grace Phillips) and Gordon (Kevin Pollack), and hold them hostage for the ride. They change their getaway vehicle to Gordon's Winnebago mobile home. In Las Vegas, they try to sell stolen drugs to a mob kingpin, Tony Vega (Rod Steiger). ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com
It's a derivative setup, and the entire film's turn of events is just as unoriginal, but taken at face value as a thriller, it works.

I'm a Vincent Gallo fan.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Both the protagonists and the film are doomed from the start, in this vulgar and mindless action flick.
