- A blackish comedy of escalating disaster that rarely strikes the requisite heartless tone; a little more wit might have helped.

  Enjoyable
  
  I really enjoyed this - Vince Vaughn is great & Joaquin Phoenix is also very good as the guy that things seem to happen to.

  A lame duck
  
  This had all the markings of a dark, indie delight, and yet after a strong start the story jars with every ensuing turn.

  Good Fun
  
  I really enjoyed this with the exception of the way most of the women are portrayed! Nicely shot, nothing original but very enjoyable all the same.

  Has potential but nothing special
  
  This film is written in very much the same vein as a Cohen brothers movie but doesn't quite hit the nail in the same direction. It has lots of potential ... read more »

  Cowboys can be cool (It must be the stetson)
  
  One word sums up this movie. Vince Vaughn's cowboy. It is a show stealing performance, and well worth watching purely for his role. Phoenix plays Clay hence... read more »
