Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
In spite of some clever ideas and a few well-wrought images, it seems too schematic and its satire too blunt.

rotten:
It's got a unique... well, I was about to say charm, but the movie's last scene doesn't quite let me get away with that.

rotten:
The good ideas are marred by awkwardness; the terrible ideas are redeemed somewhat by being, at least, unpredictable.

fresh:
Jones' debut as a director nevertheless has a distinctive tang, as affably unprincipled as the series of villains he played for Sam Peckinpah.
