Just went to see this disaster of a movie projected in an L.A. theater. (It was double-billed with Xanadu.) I stayed long enough to complete a large popcorn. This movie made me question my career in the film business as well as my basic desire to live. This movie is not good-bad, it is just plain bad. If you are contemplating spending one minute enduring this garbage just jump off of a bridge, or better yet, pay someone six bucks to bang you in the head with a brick while making up bad songs with lots of "yeah, yeah, yeahs!" I am planning on watching Citizen Kaine 100 times to wash this horror out of my memory. If that does not work, I will try a bullet. Arghhhh!!!

This movie is not too bad. The idea is very good and the acting is fine. There are no real interesting turns in the story, yet I found myself involved in the plot and caring where it would all end. Could have been better, but for a late-nite TV movie it was entertaining.

This movie is ALL HYPE. It is so concerned with being "cool" that it fails to contain anything resembling great cinema. The violence, music and editing only function as a continuous distraction. This is QT merely getting off on himself, -his private little joke. The first two minutes, and the trailer are the only pieces of this film that have any "feel". The rest of the movie fails. Even QT's trademark flashback technique serves little use. I walked away from this film not caring about any of the characters. (If this is the future of cinema we are in sad shape.) QT is hitting us on the head throughout this film, trying too hard, and failing to provide strong characters, a strong, interesting story or a consistent "feel"... If this was a TV movie by another director it would be panned. And I REALLY wanted to like this film...
