The film is well shot, with a good story and good acting. The problem is twofold though. The pace of the story is just too slow and the score is mundane and depressing. Mills' directing looks good, and the cinematography is very good, but maybe it's the way the film was edited that creates the slow pace. There's really no excuse for the poor score. If you watch any good western from any era, the score really adds to all of them. Mill's has made a number of really solid westerns recently and they all seem to have these two unfortunate flaws that keep them from really reaching the next level. If you're a western fan, give it a watch, but know it's flawed.

This was a fun to watch film if you enjoy neo-noir crime movies. The pace was a bit on the slow side, but I found the characters believable and interesting. The cast was outstanding with Vaughn, Malkovich and writer director Duke. There were a few issues with the plot or sometimes lack of one, but it didn't ruin the film for me. It won't be every viewers cup of tea, but fans of neo=noir should like it.

What a waste of my time. I don't think there was an actual script for this film and if there is, shame on the writer/producer. This movie is just a horrible, horrible mess. The acting, especially the lead actress, is just putrid. All of the arguing throughout is stupid and time consuming. There might be a decent short film here, but this is a horrible feature film. Just horrible. There are so many dead spots and uninteresting stretches, the film is hardly watchable. I watched the entire thing hoping for something to like, just one little nugget...but it never came.

If you are looking to waste an hour or so of your life, then this film is for you.
