Firstly, let me make it clear that the only reason we saw this film was that it filled some time we had to kill and finished at a convenient time for us to catch a cross channel ferry. If I were stranded on a desert island, with the only way out being to write a positive and glowing review of this film, I guess I would have to develop a liking for coconuts, sand and raw crabs. This has to be one of the most tedious films ever made - right up there with Aguirre, Wrath of God - and can best be described as 90 minutes of my life I will never get back. The plot? That question is more complex than the plot itself, which is basically, bunch of misfits, criminal deal, one insult and then 80 minutes of people shooting recklessly and all ending up in a bad way. The whole thing could have been over and done with in 5 minutes and saved an awful lot of celluloid. The fact that two of us were alone in a three hundred seat theatre for this debacle says quite enough. Funny? FUNNY? Are you kidding? If you think that was amusing or entertaining, good luck over summer, you'll have an absolute scream watching the grass grow.
