That was an excellent one.

Such a frustrating disappointment

Absolutely Fantastic

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Yes, yes...a fantastic film in in its corniness. Bad acting, bad direction, bad sound, bad music... Everything in this sounds, feels and smells cheap...You know, if they played movies in elevators instead of music, this might be THE essential elevator movie.

This movie is NOT a thriller or an action movie (unlike IMDB itself categorizes it); it's a dark comedy, in the truest sense of the word. SPOILER: So, if you thought otherwise, you must have seen only the first few minutes of the movie. As time goes by, however, you become aware that things don't quite "click" in the sense of a real thriller. It's not just a simple murder with dark, commercial motivations, no, things start to be whackier by the minute, and at a certain point even the most stubborn spectator will burst in a laughter, giving up any hope that they'll enjoy an action-packed thriller, giving up any hope that the police will catch the bad guys.This film was so brilliantly directed that the true nature of the film just gradually becomes apparent. The actors did a remarkable job, as well. The only regrettable thing would be the usage of the "funny music" by the end of the movie. The director did a great job of keeping a "straight face" throughout all the hilariously unbelievable situations, without resorting to any external "indicator" (musical or otherwise) to signal to the viewer "it's funny, laugh!". Too bad he gave in by the end. It's a very minor imperfection, though, and I would warmly recommend this movie to the intelligent and curious film fan. It's a one-of-a-kind, and it's done well.

I liked this movie, although I will also admit to being strange. I should also mention that I didn't like it until the ending.What had been a very, very strange sequence of illogical events, gradually became cohesive and understandable during the last 10 minutes. The old adage "If you've seen one, you've seen 'em all" definitely does not apply to this movie. If you're very closed-minded and opinionated as to how things should be, you won't like this at all, because it seems to never progress in a normal fashion. I guess that is what I liked about this, it had the courage to take the road less traveled, and it also took every opportunity to poke fun at itself.

What is this movie about? Other than Eric Roberts being very nice to look at, this movie was all over the place with scenes that barely connected to each other. Yet, in some way I still liked it. I tried to come up with a theme or moral, but couldn't. Can you?
