The first third is a fairly good if predictable crime story. A couple plans to rob the girlfriend's client, her john. The female lead has a strong performance as a pretty woman used to getting away with abusing others because of her looks.
As other reviews have said, the male lead is unlikable because he's an idiot. Long before everyone else sees how awful and dangerous his girlfriend is, he can't see it until too late.
The first problem comes with the second female lead. She's never explained. We don't know who she is or why she was in the john's home. And she's crazy herself...just because. Just because the writer is misogynist, hates women and depicts every single female as dangerous and insane.
The film falls apart completely because it asks us, halfway through, to believe there's a chance encounter with psychotic drug addicts working at the convenience store. One unbelievable coincidence too many.
Not only that, this supposedly fearsome gang is a collection of cliches, burned out addicted goths, rednecks, and metal heads, all talking like 12 year olds who think cursing makes them sound like adults instead of...12 year olds trying to sound adult.
The violence by this time is not shocking. It's deadening It's what a bad writer uses as an excuse when he can't think of a way to move the story forward.
After the first half of the film, fast forward to the last five minutes.
