i did not like this movie at all - it was indifferently scripted and directed. the final action scene which should have felt like a climax came off as a mid-movie fight scene. too many of the characters are one note, and the movie gives you no reason to care about any of them.

michael madsen has a few good moments - there a nice bit where he's sitting in a tree drinking a beer, and it feels like a metaphor for his relationship with the movie - just trying to get drunk and stay above the quagmire of this bad bad movie.

i wanted to like this, but even with lowered expectations i was disappointed. wah.
