flamboyant and energetic, packs a real punch

Rating: Null/10 (6 January 2003)

Inventive, volatile, pulse-pounding and totally off-the-wall crime caper about a group of total strangers who are brought together to try and pull off the perfect crime. Unfortunately for all those involved things go terribly (and violently) wrong, leading them to believe that there's a trader in their midst. Contains scenes so startling and violence so intense that it may repel you, but it's so crafty and vividly realized that you go along for the ride. In true Tarantino fashion it's well-cast, highly profane, bold and shockingly violent, yet amusing and completely convincing in its graphic depiction. Definitely not for the squeamish. ***Â½
