Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I really CANNOT BELIEVE the amount of negativity being directed at this movie! I really enjoyed it! Amy Hathaway is HOT and fun to watch. She sort of reminds me of Alicia Silverstone in Excess Baggage. I was transfixed watching Toby Mcguire and Benicio Del Toro, as I have been fans of both of theirs for years.. The movie actually has quite a bit of tension and suspense, and it works, because you really feel for these kids, and the situation they are stuck in. Sure, there are some definite continuity errors, and the acting is far from perfect, at times, but somehow these don't detract from the storyline and the overall feel of the movie. I watched half of the movie last night, and was hooked enough to come back and finish it,today. A strong 5, but maybe even a 6, in my book. Definitely worth a look, if you're into these types of movies.

Do not go out of your way to see this movie it was awful, Tobey is such a good actor and to see that this well he had to start somewhere but this was terrible i bought this when it came out on DVD and i paid 20 bucks for it. Being honest i wouldn't suggest you to watch it unless you get paid to watch it. I was looking forward to this so much and was let down it looked great but in reality it was crap well at least Tobey did make great movies like seasbuiscuit and spider-man. I was never let down as much as this in any movie at all except for oceans twelve but what a bad bad f*cking s*it movie you can watch it of course but i wouldn't suggest i would rate this 1.5/10.

I wasn't going to comment on this movie, but something has been bothering me about this since I watched it a few weeks ago. First off, let me state that I rented this because I wanted to see Adam West, who I always have liked and think should be in more big movies. The only people who were any good in this movie were West and Wilson Cruz (and maybe James Karen, but that short scene is hard to judge). Everyone else was just awful, particularly Tobey Maguire and Benicio Del Toro. Maguire is always smug and annoying. He's certainly one of the stupidest protagonists I have ever seen. Del Toro is really lazy here, mumbling his lines and giving nothing to his part. Hard to believe this is the same guy I saw in `Traffic' last year. And Quinton Peeples doesn't help much when it comes to his writing. Some of his directing is nice, but it can't cover up the weakness of his pen.All that said, let me get to what is bothering me: the opening scene. There is a short scene where we see Maguire and Amy Hathaway helping a dazed and confused Adam West to his feet. I assumed this was a foreshadowing of a final scene. Yet this is not exactly what happens in the film's real end. SPOILER ALERT. Instead, West is arrested by Del Toro. This scene really seems tacked on because the man getting into the police car isn't really West, but some stunt double and we hear West's voice muttering how he is innocent. Peeples must have rewritten something, either by his own accord or by order of a producer or executive, yet he left in the opening scene which does not fit in with the rewrite. END OF SPOILER ALERT Anyway, that was really troubling me. If you watch it, check out the opening scene and try to make sense out of it in conjunction with the rest of the film. I sure can't figure it out. Zantara's score: 4 out of 10. Thanks, Adam, for trying and making this a little better than what it would have otherwise been.

Silly and ludicrous thriller (if one could say so!) about two young friends who robbered a beautiful car just to find out a corpse in the trunk. A ordinary premise that never hit the point. There's only one curiosity in this misfire: old Adam (Batman) West living a pimp.Believe me, don't lose your precious time. I give this a 3 (three).
