Reviewsa rare offering, in an entertaining packageReview Date: 2010-02-04 Rating: 10 out of 10this film has been in some sort of distribution limbo for a number of years now, and original editions of the dvd go for pretty high dollar.
this is the uncut, unrated version of the film, in a russian release, with russian packaging, and a really funny, crudely produced, half page guide to navigating the cyrillic menu, so one can view the dvd with an english soundtrack.
the movie itself is not for the faint of heart, or the critical of plausibility. it is a tightly twisted rubber band, that is periodically loosed on the viewer. low keyed, dryly humorous, almost stoic, periods of development are punctuated by mad vignettes; gunslinging romps through the secret history of the protagonist and his former partner in crime, and the reign of absurd violence that befalls their unwise reunion. amid the flashbacks, introductions, twisted double crosses, and perverse bloody results, one with the stomach for it all will find absolute hilarity.
in what i believe has earned "cult film" status, thomas jane, aaron eckhart, michael jeeter, glenn plummer, paulina porizkova, james le gros, and mickey rourke, all give great performances, and we do not get to see enough of paula marshall, as the wife who has been left in the dark about her hubby's history. gary dourdan makes a brief but intense appearance as a hardcore drug dealing gangster named "ball peen".
writer and director skip woods truly shows his brilliant lunacy in this violent, sometimes disturbing, comedy.
if you enjoy absurdist, blood driven humor, in a screenplay so off the wall, that its viewing cannot be wrung through the lens of standards of morality and decency, then buy this dvd now.
if you are not sure, find a way to see the movie first- you will probably not be disappointed.
unless you are a collector, forget about paying for an original printing. the novelty of a cyrillic spine on your dvd shelf, and the silliness of walking through a menu one cannot read are worth owning this disc. and if you CAN read cyrillic, and understand russian, than it may be twice the fun!All but the subtitlesReview Date: 2010-02-01 Rating: 8 out of 10Great movie! Sadly the production compnay went out of business before theis movie went mainstream. This movie is frickin awesome! If you are lucky enough to find a copy, buy it! Fast shipping and good qaulity dvd.NIA'S REVIEW!Review Date: 2010-01-24 Rating: 10 out of 10I gave this film 5 stars and it's at the top of my 10 most favorite movies of all times. This is one of those movies that make you go Hmmmmmm! What is going to happen next or better still "What the H****!! I enjoyed this movie so much when I originally saw this a few years back on cable. I did a search for this in many movie stores and no one carried it. This is a cult classic that will be enjoyed for a long time, the cast of character are unforgetable.

Thursday Excellent movieReview Date: 2009-05-21 Rating: 10 out of 10This is by far one of my favorite movies. I don't understand the ~$100+ price tag on many of these copies.. it's criminal. Shop around, you'll find it cheaper, at a more respectable and competitive price. Running time: 85 minutesTheatrical release date: 1998
