Awful, 24 October 1998
1/10
Author: Buzzo-2 from Netherlands

This movie lacks everything a good movie needs. The plot is rather idiotic and the characters remain very superficial with Mom James playing a key role: hit & run over and over again, and her boys (Spendlove Sr, Jr and Uncle Frank) making sure there is always an escape route. Except a few 'esthetic' shots which please the eye, even camerawork is not quite inviting a higher rate than it deserves: 1. There is however some goods news: the first frame in which a bird can vaguely be seen on a blue and musical background might give the viewer reason to believe a decent movie will unfold, and yes, sometimes there is a twist to the story which might surprise some viewers. Unfortunately I was not one of them.
