Horrible
Added 12/19/2008
I am a big Mickey Rourke fan but I must say this is probably one of the few movies that he has been in that really sucked (Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man and the action garbage he did 'Point Blank'... or at least that is what I think his Die Hard in a mall was called). This movie was just really horrible and I watched it once and doubt I will ever see it again. The buck toothed goofey grinning Baldwin brother stands out as being particulalry bad.

One of the worst movies ever made
Added 7/22/2008
One reviewer gave it five stars because its a "gay movie." If you consider that a redeeming quality, then that's the ONLY redeeming quality. I found NOTHING about the movie to be redeeming, interesting or entertaining. Its one of those plots where you keep staring, thinking that something big or interesting is going to happen. It never does. The movie is creepy, the dialog is stilted, the story line is disjointed, the plot is weak the cinematography is amateurish. Its just a collection of odd events that barely have any connection to one another with a gay theme running throughout. I think its some kind of statement on child abuse or homosexuality. What in the world was the purpose of showing the mother making a pie running throughout the entire film? I have no idea what its really about. The gay themes are disturbing to say the least, and nothing about the movie makes the slightest bit of sense, especially the ending. I'm still not sure what the he** happend?! That's an hour and a half of my life I'll never get back.

Oh, would that Mickey could stop wooing me

No. Just no. Don't rent this. OK. A little something. It makes a lot of noise that adds nothing to the plot. Sheryl Lee (probably spelled that wrong) apparently has been scrabbling for a paycheck ever since Twin Peaks and it depresses me to see her act at all since that effort. There's a few other "never rans" in this that seem to really be trying but all for nought. I think Mickey Rourke is usually interesting, even in bad movies and he was in this one, too. But that's about all the good I can say about it. Honestly, I knew better than to rent this but I did. Shame on me.

This is really misguided.
Added 2/5/2007
I have seldom seen such a bad movie with so much talent. (David Arquette, Stephen Baldwin, Mickey Rourke, etc.) One wonders what they saw in potential for this script or why they made choices to be involved.
This horribly misguided film centers around a juvenile prank gone awry that ends up involving two bank-robbers who freak and there is enough gratuitous violence and mindless killing (and torture) to last me for the rest of my life. The film starts out terribly boring and gets more mindless and boring as it concludes, perhaps expecting the violence to make up for the total lack of story.
This is a disaster not worth enduring. Save the actors and film-makers the embarrassment of seeing this film and see something else.

Ed Wood eat your heart out.

I love movies. I hate this one.
Every melodramatic gimmick known to 1970s TV movies is packed in tight.
My favorite one is when one of the kids gets free long enough to pick up the gun, but is just too emotional to shoot his captor. The captor is yelling "Shoot me! Come on!" But he just can't. He's too busy hamming up the whimpering. Like the damsel running from the slow-moving monster and then she breaks a heel. Wouldn't ya know!
If you liked Mickey Rourke in "Diner" I suggest you don't spoil it for yourself.
