It is unfortunate how people can be blinded by an interestingly structured film that is really not that great. Yes, it's neat to see how the three plot lines converge, but who really cares about any of these people? The characters that inhabit this film are all pretty stupid. They do stupid things. I don't mind a not-so-bright character here and there, but all of them do things that tend to come back to haunt you (and not too surprisingly, they do). I have little or no sympathy for any of the characters' problems as they kind of deserve what they get and end up getting off easy. The dialogue is pretty sharp and certainly speaks of a fairly wide pop culture background. I guess I just want a little more than dead celebrity names, mentions of Knightrider and speeches about inwardly drawn 90 minute orgasms. I just found myself wishing that within this wacked out evening of evil- something horrible would happen to the entire cast (that would reduce the element of comedy of course). The Tarantino comparisons seem a little lofty though. I find myself much more interested in a lot of Tarantino's villains than the so called "hipsters" that I'm supposed to care about in this film. I would certainly not discourage anyone from at least giving it a look, but what's up with the 8ish approval rating? Are people so starved for a good movie that's fairly accessible in terms of structure that they need to attach themselves to this? I heard somebody call it the movie of the decade! Wow, is this movie overrated.
