Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
jbolz Hollywood over does the PWT genre. Almost turned it off several times but for some reason I sat through every tortuous minute. If the people it depicts really exist then same folk will like this movie. Otherwise it is stupid and pointless. So was "Pulp Fiction". Also, since I have to commit 10 lines in order to be heard, I'll say the nickel plated Government model was cool but the scene where he gave away the blued Colt didn't fit. "Love and 45" must have been edited by committee, or it ran out of money, or it was just a drill for junior actors, actress's, and writers developing their skills for future movies. Looks like Barbarella's brother played himself almost.
thunderway The only reason to watch this is to complete a study of Renee Zellewegger's work.It's a B movie. Don't read the reviews and then think you will see anything near the value of Tarantino or Stone even at their worst. I cannot understand how this movie could even be compared to True Romance, for instance. TR is amazing--brilliantly written and packed with excellent performances by too many good actors to list. This one has Renee in a forgettable part. That's it. Gil Bellow is mis-cast entirely. The acting is mostly sub-par, caricature. Cinematography 101. Even Renee delivers a so-so performance, but she's never unwatchable, which again is my reason for seeing it. There just isn't much entertainment value at all. Unless you know someone on the production, or maybe for study purposes, you should definitely pass on this one.
Dan I stumbled onto this movie in a fit of insomnia. It entertained me largely because it's so outrageously unapologetic about its goofiness. The plot moves at about 500 miles an hour, but that's not a problem, because there are no twists, just constant action and movement and happenings.The violence is downright grotesque a few times, and I knock the movie down a notch for that. At bottom, it's such a good-hearted story that the sudden and extreme violence is jarring. But it's also cartoonish violence and hard to take seriously. And if I recall correctly, all of the people getting greased had it coming.Beyond that, the most significant remark I can offer is that I could have sworn...I mean, I was utterly sure...that the leads were Brendan Fraser and Christina Applegate. It took me a while to realize that it was Gil Hodges. I still could swear that it was Applegate instead of Zellweger. Oh well, whoever she was...she was looking pretty good in this movie.
sludgehound Screw what the movie mavens are writing about this being a ripoff and all that twaddle. It is fun. Further Renee Z in those shorts just gets the cherry flavor. Only her second flick and yummy yummy. Gil lines are a hoot, esp the "risk management" one. I've always loved these ride movies and if you do, ride along. So there are some setup characters. Game is to see what they can and will do with it. More satire than Badlands or Bonnie & Clyde. If you just want an entertain escape from the ho hum, he it be. PS IFC showed an Exit Poll had 75% of viewers believing thatthe two characters were not guilty.
