Amidst a surreal urban landscape, the trio hop from one crazed and often violent incident to another, whilst developing a complex sexual tryst which culminates in a heart stopping finale.

Gregg Araki succeeds triumphantly in both shocking the prudish and exhibiting his technical mastery in what he describes as his first heterosexual outing. Recalling such murderous road movies as Natural Born Killers, this is a self-satisfied affair that too often thinks a cinematic in-joke or a cheap shot at middle American mores is more important than expanding the characters of teenage lovers Rose McGowan and James Duval and their maniacal mentor, Johnathon Schaech. Araki glamorises the sex as much as the violence, but the sight of a shopkeeper's severed head continuing to scream after it lands in some relish will be most people's abiding memory.

Worth Watching... but be warned!
Maybe one of the meanest, most good-looking pieces of trash of the 90's!
It bares resemblance to the Natural Born Killers without the hype or the budget…
The film is about a young couple, accompanied by a trigger-happy madman, faces the most eccentric situations and deal with the most extravagant characters.
Very violent film but also quite funny in its violence…
See it out if you want to see something different, but be warned it is not for the faint hearted or easily offended people! -
