User Reviews

I can't believe this movie was made at all

And I thought I had seen the worse movie of all until I saw this flick. There's nothing redeeming about this movie.

From the very first quarter of this movie, I was thinking if this is a poor homage to Tarantino's character Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield or simply a pathetic attempt to follow the footstep of Tarantino.

The dialogue obviously is trying very hard to capture the cleverness of the dialogue in Pulp Fiction. It even tried to copy the scene on Pulp Fiction just before they enter the apartment. Unfortunately, the dialogue was soo bad and the acting did not help any.

I give it 1 out of 5 stars.
