When I saw the commercial of 29 Palms on the TV I thought how the hell have I missed such a thing? Reading the complete cast and summary from the TV guide made me quite drool thinking of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" in the world of "U Turn" and "Palmetto".
Now, when the film actually started, I was quite confused. The whole thing seemed blurry and without any solid point, talking about things audience had no idea about. A story totally ripped out from context. Which... may be a good thing, like in the "Reservoir Dogs". As I kept watching, there was some points where the picture froze for a second. Umm... Okay, someone is trying to be artistic, like in the "Lock, Stock..."
As the movie went on, it turned out to be a really pathetic attempt to rip off all of the cool movies mentioned above. Some of the scenes became clearer, but the big picture stayed exactly the same mess it was in the beginning. A very uninteresting mess.
I'm still puzzled how this kind of cast agreed to play in THIS movie. I mean, they had to see the script (or the absence of it), did they?
Oh, and I gave it TWO points instead of one only because I thought Jeremy Davies' and Rachael Leigh Cook's outfits were kind of cool.
