From the outset this movie tries (in vain) to be your pro to typical Tarantino/Rodriguez road/gangster/dark comedy movie. It fails terribly on almost every level. I originally watched this because of Gary Oldman, Jeff Fahey and the Elvis theme that was underpinning it.
Considering Fahey had nailed his performance in Machete around the same time...he totally locked-out on this dire role. Alas with Fahey, he's either brilliant or darn right awful. As with an earlier review, I too don't really see why Oldman went for this script. Christian Slater movies are globally accepted as trash these days so I did have that niggle in the back of head when picking it up...I wasn't let down LOL!! Had this movie been done by either Tarantino or Rodriguez then it would be another cult classic like Machete, but I defy anyone to say they would keep this well below par, poorly acted, body-less FAIL in their collection.
