"Raising Arizona" type humor but the movie isn't as funny. A movie you laugh at even though you know you shouldn't. I say B-
"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-.
So slow, you'll think that time runs backwards
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.

A bloody tale that spins out of control...
I actually think I have watched this 2012 movie titled "Breathless", from director Jesse Baget, once before. But I have to admit that I have entirely forgotten about it. But as I sat through it here in 2025, there were memories of the narrative resurfacing. But it wasn't wasted time revisiting the movie, because I had forgotten about it, truth be told.
Writers Jesse Baget and Stefania Moscato put together a rather unique storyline. It was pretty far out there, but it was also that very fact that made the narrative so entertaining and outstanding. It is a movie that starts out nicely, then quickly spirals into violence and betrayal.
The movie does have some familiar talents on the cast list, with the likes of Gina Gershon, Val Kilmer, Ray Liotta, Sid Vicious and Richard Riehle. The acting performances in the movie were good.
I have to admit that I toppled over laughing during the scene that determined the fate of Dale (Val Kilmer's character), it was just so random and out of the blue, and I love that.
This movie is actually well-worth spending 91 minutes on watching.
My rating of director Jesse Baget's 2012 movie "Breathless" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Well...
Fun, intelligent, full of plot twist, comical, good performances, lots of blood, betrayals, thief who steals thief... Well...
Brutal movie (not in a good way)
I really couldn't get through this one, so maybe it got better (highly doubt it). Acting was hollow on all fronts and tries too hard to be something that it is not. In a movie like this you would think that the dialogue would carry it, seeing as not much really happens throughout it, but it fails miserably at that.
This movie could not hold my attention, I happened to be channel surfing and found this. Since I like the two main actressess I figured I'd give it a try. First full half of the movie is so boring I started nodding off. Unfortunately, things never really picked up from there, so I changed the channel.
People giving this movie anywhere above a 5 are questionable. What is a good movie to you people? This was absolutely terrible. Gershon is miscast as well. Kilmer took this role strictly for the paycheck, same w/ Liotta (RIP). Who greenlit this pile of steaming dog trash? Cinematography is non-existent, dialogue is atrocious, characters incredibly unlikeable w/no redeeming quality. This is a wannabe black comedy that tries too hard and is very boring due to the lack of action and horrible dialogue.
My opinion? Find something else to watch, or don't, but you'll be kicking yourself for wasting time on this. I didn't. I quit watching. There's way better movies out there that do this type of genre far, far, better.
