"For a mere $10K, you too can make a wild and crazy neo-noir escapade film such as this!", or so my tag line would read! I've seen this movie about 6 times to date and I always find something new that I missed before. Is that because I have a severely low attention span (ADHD) or is it actually a good and challenging script? I tend to agree with the latter option, but then again, I was never known to face up to my deficiencies anyway.
The snappy, sometimes staccato, usually literate dialog, (which probably offends anybody, any ethnic group, political party, et al one time or another!) coupled with a well developed not-so-linear plot line provides the main impetus for this movie. The opening sequences dealing with car salesmen not only come across as wild parody, but also serve to foreshadow further plot developments. Joe C. and his band of outrageous thespian brothers come across in grand fashion to set in motion these equally outrageous sequences of events. My favorite dialog-tichian (new word!) is the FBI head agent whose articulate, snappy police banter provides a welcome interlude in this menagerie of already rampant clichés and assorted put-ons. See it, if only for the fun of it. That's what it's all about anyway, isn't it?
