A great movie. Kind of boring at some parts but it's a great film

An interesting but confusing... action thriller?

Some good actors play modern but inept desperados in an attempt to get random money. James Caan is funny as an old school gangster.

No character development, slow pace. I just couldn’t get into it. The ending was epic though

One of my all time favorites. The story and performances are very good. I have enjoyed this movie many times.

Even though the story is kind of a mess, this movie has style and feels original. The badass ending helps wrap things up too.

Serviceable Tarantino imitation with significantly weaker characters.

A hidden gem of a movie. Came out just before the modern western revival. Ahead of its time. Great villains, gunfights, and plot twists.
