actor brought their own concept of "Texan" to the screen.I've read a lot of reviews here on the IMDb about how this movie is a rip-off of "Pulp Fiction" -- "NBK", another film comparison made here, was also released in that same year...my question is this: How can it be a "rip-off" if all 3 films were released the same year? Why not reference the 1992 film by Robert Rodriguez-"El Mariachi", exploding on the scene with his own brand of creative artistic Texas filming...and let's not forget about that OTHER famous Texas Director, RichardLinklater who made his debut that following year with his 1993 explosive hit "Dazed and Confused"...where Rory Cochrane plays an unforgettable role.Let's just say that 1994 was THE year for Creative Artistic Direction.One thing I do want to ask: Did Big Red Bottling Co. have anything to do with the making of this film? I mean, every scene has some sort of reference to the soft drink Big Red. Could this be "Free Advertising" at it's best?

and it might become one of your favorites too!

was obviously made with a much lower budget, which in this case gave the movie character and charm. There is quite a bit of jarring violence in this film, and you can't really claim that the lead characters would qualify as exactly desirable human beings in real life, but I still really liked this film a lot. Again, the best way I can put it is that it's what Natural Born Killers should have been.

the movie yourself, and rather than listen to accusations that it's a rip-off of movies that actually came after it, give it a shot as what it is -- a better-than average entry in a long-standing film genre, the outlaw couple on the run. And where it's due the director gives nods to his influences. Note one item that struck me as an inside joke -- the addition of Peter Fonda, the star of one movie that truly *is* a predecessor of this one: Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry 1974 .

'friend' out to settle a few old scores. Peter Fonda is a standout as Zellweggers' dad. Highly recommended.

characters than have a right to exist in any one Movie and some Witty Banter that makes it all quite a Rolicking Ride.It is over the top, around the bend, down the rabbit hole and off into outer space. Nutzoid and Naughty, Dirty and Delightful, with a Cast that cries out Cult Movie. It is proudly self-conscious, Violent, and Funny enough for it to become part of the Zeitgeist that was working in its Day and can not be ignored. This one will do nothing but gain Reputation and Admiration acquiring more Fans every Year. It was an easy thing to miss and dismiss this in the Mid-Nineties but if nothing else, the Success of Renee Zellweger will have the curious seeking this one out as a Career Starter and while she is a standout here, this Movie has more to offer and does so with layers of interest far beyond anything as shallow as Star Power. It gets its energy from a Chemical Compound and a Cultural Milieu that is forever Fascinating.
