December 5, 2009Roger Avery's completely subtle masterpiece of a bank heist epic. The story is incredibly well crafted and eccentric, without having any of Tarantino's stink all over it (which ruined Pulp Fiction for me). The filming style is quite original, but also homages classics like Dog Da... read more

September 29, 2009Nothing original here. A good cast wasted (No pun intended). Has Roger Avary even been to Paris?
-
August 16, 2009A thoroughly entertaining and stylish B-movie heist caper, but the balance between pros and cons isn't quite equal enough to warrant a strong recommendation.

June 13, 2009Directed by Roger Avery, Produced by Quentin Tarantino, amidst the height of the 90?s Cult drug fuelled storylines, topped with violent criminals and a chaotic bank robbery.
Some pretty good camera shot interpretations and probably the role Eric Stoltz is best known for (apa... read more -
April 17, 2009Pretty fun bank-robbery-gone-wrong film. Nothing new to the genera, but very entertaining. The main villian Eric was a pretty terrible person, which makes for a great antagonist. Moral of the story?: Be nice to prostitutes, because they may save your life in a hostile situtation.

February 25, 2007A stylistic departure from the typical Quentin Tarantino veuvre, this thriller film foregoes the smartarse hijinx and violence of True Romance and Pulp Fiction for a more understand, but no less violent, arthouse visual style.
-
December 5, 2006A really cool movie, but it kind of loses a little something for me every time I see it.

December 5, 2006One of a host of Tarantino imitators that appeared in the feeding frenzy after the success of Reservoir Dogs, this is not the best or the worst. Decent heist movie with a lacklustre cast and slightly irritating gimmicky camera work. OK
-
July 9, 2010Tarantino has no middle ground. He writes brilliantly or he writes shit. This was clearly an early draft for Reservoir Dogs that should have been deleted and forgotten and thrown away. It's nothing more than drug-abuse and a bank robbery. The titular "Zoe" is never in any danger ... read more

October 13, 2006This flick would have been fairly boring if it wasn't for a great performance by Jean-Hugues Anglade. In my opinion he made the movie with his amazing ability to act completely crazy and yet pull it off so it didn't seem over-the-top or ridiculous. His charisma was mezmerizing, a... read more

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
An ultra-violent but vapid crime caper that owes as much to Tarantino as to film noir, both American and French. Full Review

Rob Thomas, Capital Times (Madison, WI)
An ugly, mean movie that represents the low point for Tarantino knockoffs -- and Tarantino actually produced it!

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Clever'n a barrel of monkeys.

A gory bloodbath with no redeeming elements whatsoever. Full Review
