Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

You really have to be a fan of the actors, to sit thru the whole movie. It's just so slow and predictable. I wasn't really hyped and didn't expect much when i watched the trailer ... but damn was i ever so right. The movie wants to be smart but fails with long, pointless dialogues. Twist? Well... Let's say that it looks like Captain Obvious wrote the whole thing.Scenery? Two locations. That's it. Seriously. Acting is fair. Val Kilmer does a good job in a brief funny role. Ray Liotta and Gina Gershon are decent but far from their best.And all the gore that wants to be "over the head" is unnecessary. It just makes movie even more shallow. Watch it if your life depends of it... But rather just pass.

Refreshing, funny, entertaining, great performances by a great cast. Good story with a talented director as well. I truly enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. I did not realize what a talented actress Gina Gershon was until I watched this little gem-sleeper. I have a new appreciation for her skills. The rest of the cast was great as well, no matter how small there part..I think that was the beauty of it, these legendary seasoned actors with these small parts added so much to them. I truly made me laugh out loud...especially Val Kilmer's lines..he was great! The story kept me interested from the beginning to the end of the movie. Good fun, great acting, great direction and great cast with a unique, funny script.

The movie starts off pretty good, but descents fast too. Still it is nice to see Val Kilmer in a decent role (does not happen that often, but then again he is not the main actor here and he doesn't have a lot to do either, so that might help the fact), plus Gina Gershon can show some things she might have learned during "Bound". Ray Liotta is a side note and the whole thing is very predictable.Funny enough (or not): While the movie tries to be clever, the coincidences and other things that just happen conveniently, really destroy the whole thing and make you wonder, what they were thinking. The basic idea was nice and the accents are interesting too (though some might say this is a bit of a one sided look at Texas), but the overall movie fails to impress. An extra point for trying though ...

"We are in Texas there are no accidents. There's alive and there's dead." Lorna (Gershon) is very upset with her husband Dale (Kilmer) after years of prison for robbing convenience stores he is free. She finds out that he has robbed a bank and she is upset because he isn't sharing with her. She calls her friend "Tiny" (Giddish) over to help her though her problem but things go from bad to worse. I have to say that for the most part this was a pretty entertaining movie and it made me laugh a few times but it is not anything really good. The humor is the "redneck" type of humor like the kind in "Raising Arizona" but it's not quite as funny. I've said for a while now that Val Kilmer has really gone downhill for some reason. While this is his best (and by that I mean only watchable) movie in a while his acting is terrible. Ray Liotta has been going down that road too but his acting is actually decent in this movie. This is nothing amazing but it is pretty funny in a very dark & I shouldn't be laughing at this kind of way. Overall, not a bad way to spend an hour and a half. I give it a B-.
