5/10
Fairly entertaining, but left me cold
14 January 2003
The cast is great, there are some very funny scenes and altogether I found the film to be fairly entertaining. But nothing intrigued me about it. It's about a group of thugs who are at war with a thief and the rest of his cronies. This seems like another crime caper/comedy that tried to draw inspiration from "Pulp Fiction" and failed miserably. Of course, this is much lighter than "PF" with less (though a good deal of) profanity and less violence. But it tries to be identical with its dark humor and quirky characters. Every actor (especially Alec Baldwin and Andre Braugher) deserves a much better script than this mediocre, forgettable fluff. If you catch it on cable, it might be worth a look, but don't go searching for it.

My score: 5 (out of 10)
