Penn turns in a crisp, unfussy comic performance, Lopez vamps like a scorpion in heat, Nolte sustains a pretty good John Huston impression, and Thornton is mighty peculiar as the mechanic from hell.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten
It's a disappointing ride.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Rotten
It's so empty emotionally it's difficult to see what the point is, unless it's the celebration of emptiness, an aim that has become so familiar recently it hardly seems worth the trouble everyone has gone to.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
It demonstrates a filmmaker in complete command of his craft and with little control over his impulses.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
