Although the Tarantino influences are clear to see, this matt-black trailer trash thriller is an impressively nasty treat. Gil Bellows is the nice-ish convenience store robber who is forced to go on the run with his devoted girlfriend (an electric early showing from Renee Zellweger) after a raid goes horribly wrong.

Compared to some of Renee Zelwegger's later films like Cold Mountain and Jerry Maguire, this is a bit of a shock. As a simple crime rampage film/romance it competes with the likes of Badlands, and of course it's not really as good.

The film is pretty flimsy and, although not a violent as some later crime films, it's certainly not a pleasant viewing experience on any level.
i liked this film it had some really funny scenes the words did not coincide with there mouths a pair of non violent bungling bonnie and clyde wannabees robbing and trying to dodge the local loan sharks withy some violent scenes was a film about a difference a robber with morals not one of zelwegger finest films
