callanvass This is a great little dark/Comedy/Romance film, that's quite entertaining and funny, with a good story and excellent performances!. All the characters are great, and it has some very good dramatic moments as well ( a lot of them actually), plus Keanu Reeves and Cameron Diaz are simply amazing in this!. OK yes the finale was a bit predictable, however that didn't ruin it for me at all, and I thought Reeves and Diaz had excellent chemistry together, plus it has a few very good plot twists as well, even if I did see one of them coming and that was the big one!. It's pretty well made and written, and I thought Vincent D'Onofrio was brilliant in his role, as the brother of Jjaks, plus I really liked the ending as well. The opening was pretty cool, as it showed the two Jackson brothers growing up as kids, and I was lucky enough to buy this for 1$ at a VHS Blowout sale at my video store, plus Delroy Lindo is quite intense in his role. This is a very underrated film in my opinion, as it should be a lot higher then 5.2, plus it's also very clever at times too. This is a great little dark/Comedy romance film, that's quite entertaining and funny, with a good story and excellent performances, I highly recommend this one!. The Direction is great!. Steven Baigelman does a great! Job here with good camera work, solid angles and keeping the film at a fast pace. The Acting is really excellent!. Keanu Reeves is amazing as always and is amazing here, he is extremely likable, had excellent chemistry with Diaz, had some powerful scenes with D'Onofrio, had plenty of charisma as always, and I consider this to be one of his best performances! (Reeves Rules!!!!!!!!). Cameron Diaz is incredibly gorgeous and is amazing here, she is very likable, had an unpredictable character, was vulnerable, had excellent chemistry with Reeves, and I felt sorry for her in a lot of scenes(Diaz Rules!!!!!!!). Vincent D'Onofrio is brilliant here as the brother of Reeves, he really was a sorry excuse for a human being, but he played it so brilliantly that I couldn't help but like him, he is one of the main reasons I enjoyed this film so much. Delroy Lindo is intense here as usual, he had a small but very effective role here, I love this guy!. Dan Aykroyd is great here as the dirty cop, I really liked him. Courtney Love has a worthless role as a waitress she was OK I guess. Tuesday Weld is OK as the Mother but was wasted. Rest of the cast are fine. Overall I highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5

raregold626 I caught this movie late one night while flipping through the channels. I mainly stopped on it because it had Keanu Reeves, and I had never seen it before. I was shocked when I realized Cameron Diaz was in it too! I was hooked instantly. What seemed like a really strange movie at first, turned out to be one of my new favorite movies. It was like nothing I had ever seen before - and I loved it! Before it was even over, I knew I wanted to own it! I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes to mix things up a bit, or is just tired of the same old movie plots - and especially anyone who would love to see Keanu and Cameron together! I give it ***** (5 stars)!!!

patrick-vandervoort the movie is a surprising acting performance from Keanu and Cameron, refreshing to see Keanu play something else besides some moron-like action figure. and Cameron for once not in the "blone bimbo" roles she seems to frequent. strange thing is that this movie is not that well known , i guess this is because both did not really had their "break trough" yet at the time. and Courtney Love as the waitress only makes this movie complete :) and well on his way to cult status. also Dan Akroyd with an over the top try at a local accent is well worth your time. all in all a movie with an impressive cast, specially for such a "low profile" movie.

corvette_lover started out amazingly - i could not stress enough how original the film is, idiosyncratic and very interesting, new to the best of my knowledge, for about the first half or three quarters of the film ... after that it is either stupid and unrealistic or overdone and exaggerated, eg. the level of violence is inappropriate for the rest of the thing, though even that in itself was fairly original in plot etc. ... the main reason i had the impetus to write about this film was that it was likely the only (or one of the only) keanu reeves films in which he actually performs well and gives an engaging and three dimensional character with EMOTIONS ... i want to like him, i really do ... this film definitely helped ... 7.5/10
