ipsedixit7963 Sometimes simple is better. The movie did a great job of working my "feelings". I cringed and squirmed, laughed and smiled. I even enjoyed the setting. Bizaar was intertwined with normalcy to create quite a mess; a good mess. I think the movie did what it was intended to do. I was entertained and not left wondering if I had missed something. As with all art, the piece is up to the interpretation of each viewer. Most will probably not like this movie due to some disturbing content. I enjoyed the affect it had on me. The drifter's memories coming back to him in bits and pieces was done well. It may seem confusing at first, but anyone caught up in the story will soon understand what is happening. The FBI agent "twist" was a nice little addition to the ending.

gvit-2 It's a big sloppy mess, but it's not half as bad as some comments would leave you to believe. The story goes all over the place, but the story is just a thread. There's a lot of Coen Brothers and a bit of David Lynch in this film. Wonderfully weird and unlikeable characters, nicely composed, sparse scenes nicely photographed and the humor is not of the joke/punch line school, which is probably why there are many disappointed comments. The budget for this film could not be called shoestring, it's more like twine. Still, despite the disassociated story - I mean, who has the money really doesn't matter, it's just getting us from point A to point B - it's quite an accomplishment. Some people like their films to be obvious stories that are easy on the eyes, this is a more subtle form of entertainment with a garish touch.

purdypurdypurdy Extremely disappointing story, completely lacking originality and creative flair.Wasted cast, no development, too much reliance on coincidence, not funny, not interesting to look at... put you off yet? Story is the old hackneyed idea of a misplaced bag of money. Seen it done before? Probably. Each introduced character wants to get their hands on the stash of cash and we're given Jeremy Davies' character to cheer on, and others to jeer on.What follows lacks any freshness or interest, which is really disappointing. Probably what could've saved this, if anything, would be a dash of Coen perspective and dark humour. A sudden attempt at inventive editing in the last twenty minutes does little to pick up the pace (if you're still awake) and even a turn by Bill Pullman can't do much to save it. Rachel Leigh Cook is pretty, though...

jlf2446 Native American killers, hitmen, innocent bystanders, dope smoking cops, stolen money, bullets & violence. What more could you ask for?A movie about a bag of money and some ordinary people reacting to violence in their lives.If you liked "Two Days in the Valley" you'll probably like this one.
