Some funny bits, but.....

Rating: Null/10 (1 April 1999)

The Tarantino influence is very strong here. The sub-plots are all connected and the episodes seem to jump about in an unpredictable fashion. There are some funny bits, but the story line is hard to follow, mostly because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Four louts assemble a very large sum of money so they can be cheated out of even more in a super-high-stakes poker game. They are threatened with all sorts of physical harm if they don't produce the preposterous amount they "owe." Other hoodlums are plotting other crimes for other reasons and they all wind up victimizing or killing one another. The most surprising thing is that any of these cretins could victimize or kill anybody. Since it is all played for laughs, I suppose no real harm is done by the totally unbelievable plot, but not much good comes of it either.
