In spite of some clever ideas and a few well-wrought images, it seems too schematic and its satire too blunt.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

It's got a unique... well, I was about to say charm, but the movie's last scene doesn't quite let me get away with that.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The good ideas are marred by awkwardness; the terrible ideas are redeemed somewhat by being, at least, unpredictable.
Richard Eder, New York Times
Fresh
Jones' debut as a director nevertheless has a distinctive tang, as affably unprincipled as the series of villains he played for Sam Peckinpah.
