The Best Movie Ever!

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 1999)

This is without a doubt my favourite film I've ever seen. It has an original story, although it does nick stuff from every lovers on the run movie ever made, and I personally think that the acting is superb, pariculary from Dennis Hopper, and surprisingly Christian Slater. There are a number of characters in this film that although they are bad at times (Gary Oldmans pimp 'Drexel' for example), you actually start to like them.
The scrpit is very funny as well, although maybe a little corny at times. There are also a number of what I would say 'classic scenes. Two of them being the brutal beating of Alabama in the motel room, which shows an effective use for a toilet seat. And probeably best of all where Dennis Hopper gives his history lesson to Christopher Walkens mob leader about the origin of the Sicilian blood line, concerning a lot of bed hopping involving black people. This scene is both intense and funny, which will keep you giggling on the edge of your seat.
Overall, this films deserves to be seen by anyone who likes their films funny, and very violent. try to see it in widescreen if you can, and hopefully the directors cut, which has a lot more of the violence in it. Although I suggest not for the faint hearted.
See it ASAP!
