With a movie like this it's all about how you approach it. If you're expecting big budget standards of production of course you will be disappointed. It worked for me as a hilarious deconstruction of butch mainstream Hollywood thrillers. I laughed all the way through.
It takes the conventions of the Hollywood thriller and satirizes them mercilessly. For example the fact that the whole thing revolves around capturing a collectible doll off a drag queen, rather than say, saving the world from imminent destruction. The convention of the beautiful sidekicks of the male characters is turned inside out by making the protagonists drag queens. And so on.
It's kind of like when you've seen Chaplin's "The Great Dictator", newsreel of Nazis sieg heiling just looks hilarious. You'll never look at a mainstream thriller the same way again after seeing this.
Oh, and Omar Alexis looks really cute as a girl.
