The current IMDb rating is rather poor. That's a shame. I just finished watching it on cable and found it enjoyable. It's not the top of my list, but the ending left me with mixed emotions: on the one hand, I got liking the characters enough that I had my own set of hopes for them, on the other I had my sense of "do something that's not a cliché." I won't say which won.
The film has a good sense of its own plot. I trace that to the one line where -- after a nearly implausible plot twist -- A.K. mutters "I should have bought a lottery ticket." (or something like that; I'm going by memory)
If you get a chance to catch the film, and don't mind a little tittie exposure (from the adult club scenes), it's no waste of time.
I had a boring Saturday night to watch this and "Sniper" and I think the IMDb scores for the films should have been swapped. I had trouble caring for the lead characters in "Sniper," but I found myself pulling for A.K. and Ray. I think the bad reviews came from trying to compare this to Tarantino films. If you don't, it works just fine.
