    One of these movies where the premise sounds better than it actually is. Sure, it’s has a pretty original story, a bunch of nice actors, great dialogue and some gorgeous sex’n'violence, it’s funny, brutal and entertaining – nevertheless there are 2 major problems with this film:
    (1) it totally looks like director Mendez wanted to create a cult movie in the vein of Tarantino or Oliver Stone. Well, it’s (a) impossible to “create” a cult movie and (b) you can only fail by copying from “Natural Born Killers”.
    (2) there’s hardly any atmosphere, tension or suspense which makes it often pretty tedious to watch.

Official Score: 4.5 / 5
