Oliver Stone turns his hand from politics to ripping off Quentin Tarantino and the result is incoherent, nasty and completely uninvolving. A great cast is wasted trying to breathe life into a bunch of self-consciously oddball cardboard cut-outs and it's all so meandering and unstructured it totally fails to maintain the interest despite the sensationalist subject matter. A total misfire.

awesome movie with a great cast .5 stars from me sean penn plays a guy on the run from some gangsters who want to cut the rest of his fingers of. but his car breaks down in a little backward town on a very hot day. all he wants to do is get a cold drink and then get out of town asap but nothing goes to plan, there is lots of twists and dark plot turns and subjects.. the look of the movie is fantastic, nick nolte s great as is j lo suprisingly playing a dark yet sexy role. The ending is what you hope for in a movie. just perfect. and the scenes where he tries to get a cold drink are just funny. you really feel for the gu and root for him y all the way to the end. defentially reccomend this movie. its one you can really get into.

The characters in this movie were interesting. But, the plot just wasn't all that great.

Oliver Stone attempts to change direction by using a stellar cast. What's the problem then? The script is thin, predictable, and riddled with holes. The actors try to give jaded small town charactures, but are far more mocking and silly than the sly and crafty that Stone intended. Think Ben Affleck or Keanu playing Hamlet as examples. The film's not a statement like Natural Born Killers, which coulda been an excuse, and feels light years away from satisfactory. What's a bad movie by a good director get? Aside from reruns on basic cable at 4:00 a.m., they get 1 star.

The pacing is way off, and even with some great actors, the film just doesn't feel right.
