Great gem of a movie
20 February 2013
Interesting film that's made extremely well. Many find similarities to Pulp Fiction, but I didn't. The movie has track all its own. It's a mixture of psychotic killers, and comedy. The actors are good looking, and the movie is beautifully shot.

Casey (Thomas Jane) has made a nice home for himself in Dallas suburbs. His old friend who's a psychotic killer shows up. He's shocked at how much Casey's lifestyle has changed. But obviously, Casey has a new life now. He's turned professional in a good way. But the arrival of his old "friend" is about to turn his nice world upside down again.

Yes, I loved the opening scene where the mini mart clerk was shot due to combination of meanness disguised as professionalism, and sheer ugliness of her character.

Thomas Jane IMO is a very underrated actor. He could be a tough guy heart throb in any movie. Maybe his only fault is that he looks too good, and too well disciplined at what he does.

This is a gem of a movie from the late '90s along with the likes of "The Big Hit" and is recommended for viewing.
