This movie is AWFUL!! I grew up on the brilliance of Harold Ramis...Stripes, Caddyshack and The Ghostbusters franchise. So I went with great hopes. But a wooden, one-dimensional performance by John Cusack (who appeared bored throughout the entire film) and a bad job by Connie Nielsen, who does her best to imitate Kathleen Turner in Body Heat, left me wanting my money back. And there is no plot...just the need to survive Christmas Day AFTER a $2,000,000 robbery which took "brilliance and balls", so we are told. The movie begins after the robbery and there is no brilliance nor balls displayed here. In fact that only reason that I gave it as high as 2 points, is that most of the movie is set in "titty" bars and there is some exemplary (as well as some obese) T & A pictured, hence the R rating. Billy Bob Thornton has managed to make a couple of good movies, but more often than not, he's been in losers, and this is the worst of them. The only truly funny moment in the film occurs when Randy Quaid (who is in the movie for all of 5 minutes) is shot in the face with bird-shot, and gets up with a bunch of holes in his face. Don't waste your time or money on this stinker!
