Fantastic!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

There are some spoilers here.The first 45 minutes or so of this movie show much promise. Two plastic, wannabe bad boys owe $12,000 to a mysterious black dude and invent a clever scam in order to raise the cash. They decide to set up a Doctor (yes, the English guy from Cheers) with a woman and film them having sex. They then blackmail the English guy from Cheers and warn him that they'll show the video to his wife unless he hands over a very large sum of money (at least $12,000 for starters).Things appear to be going reasonably well for the two bad-guys as they hold the English guy from Cheers hostage at his house and attempt to withdraw the money from his bank account. But then, in a very well-staged scene, the English guy from Cheers is revealed in a totally different light. This twist in itself is very clever and is revealed in a very casual manner which takes one by surprise. But from this promising plot development the movie then subsides into unintentional hilarity. Everybody ends up trying to double-cross everyone else, and, most ridiculously of all, the mysterious black dude that I mentioned, to whom the $12,000 was originally owed, is revealed as a Snoop-Doggy lookalike with a zimmer frame (I kid you not).There is a final shoot-out which is handled very badly by the directors and the impression one gets is that the scriptwriter had a very good idea, with a clever twist, but just didn't have a clue about how to expand this to a more sensible conclusion. 4/10

I saw this film about a month ago, and I have to say it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The reason I seen it in the first place was because I found out that Justin Pierce (R.I.P) was in it, and I haven't seen any of his other films apart from Kids, and Next Friday. And as usual he gave a great performance, and so did the rest of the cast.The story wasn't particularly good but the way the cast acted they made the film watchable. So I would suggest if you want a film that is fun and not to be taken that seriously, than choose this you might even like it.

For the first 40 minutes this film was great, I was fully interested in the story of 2 hoodlums who, after being given only a day to pay off their loan shark - decide to blackmail (what they think to be) a very well off british business man.Then as it goes on it turns a little ridiculous loses credibility and interest, although it was still watchable, if not gripping. Worth a watch if its on TV and you want to kill 90 mins.

This movie is just total fun. Don't kill yourself over the plot of story line. Just remember that this film is to entertain you and make you laugh. If you ask yourself how it is possible for the girl to have the money when she couldn't have possibly will only make you crazy. Forget about it. It's one of the all genre covered films that adds just a little bit of everything. Excellent acting by that British guy from Cheers. He plays the best psychopath since Joseph Cotten in Shadow of a Doubt. The brothers who directed this film could be the next Cohen Brothers....keep your eyes on them!
