Toronto, 1997.04.08

For a formulaic Hollywood flick, this one is an entertaining, slick film. The interesting ensemble cast plays off each other in a series of crosses, mis-cues, and attempted murder. But, overall it's a low-budget knock-off of a Tarantino film, or perhaps an Elmore Leonard story and doesn't compare.

Not recommended.

... I'll let you in on a secret. Big people are exactly the same as little people. They're selfish, squabbling children whose motivations are jealousy and greed. No one becomes big when the hit adulthood. They just become better at hiding how small they are.

—Jonathan Rosenberg
