Lack of good storyline.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

In my opinion; I liked this movie. I think the writing was above board. To put two really good Hollywood actor's together and not create an abomination coined as a feature film, is a monumental task. Dennis Hopper and Michael Madsen were great. Give the Director credit, for a low budget film, this film is far better than the crap we are forced to digest on Netflix and Blockbuster. The setup I felt was interesting, and Hopper's character was riveting from the first moment he hit the screen. The confrontation and spin in the plot was when Hopper's character throws the body out of the window. The introduction to Madsen's character (Classic Madsen bad guy) adds a good spin to the story, and the resolution is a twist unexpected. Even though the dialog was a bit verbose, it was still good dialog and story driven. And let's not forget the 200 ft. SuperBee pipe ramp. Classic and well done! If you want to sit down and take the film apart, you will surely find something to *itch about. Honestly, you can sit down for 95 minutes and be entertained. Enough said.

We enjoyed very much seeing this movie, the story idea is really good. There are 1000s of Hollywood films worse than this one, which offers not only the regular really cool action parts, but also some really big stars and you can see them acting well together. Maybe one day, a big studio movie will even come up with a high-budget remake of this brilliant story, where nothing is as it appears on the first look...seriously, that the murderer in the first place only mistakenly believes, that he killed Ron Sloan, this is an interesting way on how to begin a tricky story... moreover we liked it a lot, that the movie plays really in Hollywood and you get to see some of the Hollywood and Valley areas you do not see in all the other independent films... so, all in all, a quite entertaining piece of an independent Hollywood movie!

The worst movie i've ever seen. I still don't understand what Dennis Hopper and Michael Madsen intend to do in. Maybe they had bills to pay... The best and cult part happens during a flashback which brings us during WWII when a Nazi officer hide his Jewish wife. That's the beginning of a typical serial killer life! It seems to be directed during the beginning of the 80's but then appears a New Beattle... Amazing! This movie was directed in 2001... I'm quite sure that it took less than two weeks to do that movie. I heard that Dennis Hopper's wife asked for divorce after she saw that picture and Michael Madsen's mother had a heart attack when the actor admitted to be the man under the yellow baseball hat. Pathetic!

Hopper has never been worse as if he felt as this movie is worthy of only a grade B performance and he delivers a rather good one. Outside of Madsen and Hopper the acting is horrid; you've seen better at your local high school. The sound and at times the editing and camera shots are low end of B-movies. The scene with the peeping tom is of movies greatest gratuitous nudity scenes I've ever seen (it doesn't even come close to fitting in the movie). The script was probably a great 10-page outline, but when it comes out to a full-length movie there are more holes in it then the dead bodies Madsen left behind. I do have to say Hopper dressed in a nice suit driving the Hummer had me laughing out loud, but I don't think that was the intent. Yes there is a little style, and Hopper can always draw my interest. However the interesting plot concept never pays off and you are left wondering why you wasted your time watching this.
