I gave it a 1 out of 10

Rating: 1/10 (29 October 1999)

That was to lower it's stupid ridiculously high average, but to put it quite simply, I hated this movie. I didn't expect to like it, I was only watching it for Frank Whaley, but I hated this movie, really hated with it with it's various plot holes that do not make sense(watch "Short Cuts" if you want to see a decent movies about the interrelating lives of people), obnoxious, unsympathetic characters(I wanted to cheer when John Travolta died, or did he die? I had no idea since the film epitomized non-sense making. Someone died, and I didn't like any of the characters, with the exception of Whaley's, so I would still have wanted to cheer), bad writing, with obvious attempts at being "cool" and trying to have "catch phrases," etc etc etc! I found nothing good about this film in the least. So why did critics? I hate when violent, immoral films are regarded as "daring" "good" film making. This one sure wasn't, and nominating John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson for acting awards?! The first one is just absurd and the second has proven to me that he can act, but the only thing he was acting in this film was obnoxious. This one is up there with "Born on the Fourth of July" and "Do the Right Thing" for my least favorite "good" movie.
