| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's a very weird vibe, and it requires one to not only accept, but also embrace, boredom. If the movie has one theory, it's this: if you stare long enough at a certain spot, something weird and cool is bound to happen. |
| User ReviewAbe L"it's nearly happy hour; and there's plenty of coffee!" |
| User ReviewJarryd RI want 2 see dis coz it could be funny or it could be boring so Im gonna put dis 5 star because we have 2 try everything in life so lol |
| User ReviewAndrew LIt's a complete disaster, but this Alex Cox spaghetti Western/gangster/rock 'n' roll flick has some lively cameos: Shane McGowan, Elvis Costello, Grace Jones, Dennis Hopper, Jim Jarmusch and a pre-Hole Courtney Love! |
| User ReviewJohn WCourtney aside this is flawless guerrilla cinema, a perfect follow up to Repo Man |
| User ReviewFilmGrinder SThis film killed Cox's career and opened my eyes to alternative movies. |
| User Review+=Nathan=+Courtney Love's voice was ANNOYING AS HELL in this film! I mean it seriously struck a nerve everytime she opened up her mouth! |
| User ReviewJohnWonderful. Funny. Campy and a cult classic. An all star cast including many of the coolest Rock Stars of all time. Western comedy where the locals drink coffie instead of beer, nice twist. Not to be missed worth the rental or purchase. |
| User ReviewChuck HIf you have enjoyed any Quentin Tarantio film, you should give this one a watch. He might have more refined dialogue, but this is where he refined his sense of cool. If he says anyithing to the contrary he is lying through his asshole |
| User ReviewZak HI absolutely <3 this movie. Lots of fun, and what a cast ^__^ |
