Reviews
“This film was definitely made during the Tarantino wave of violence, above all Natural Born Killers and From Dusk Till Dawn, of course . The killers were stolen from the former, the surprising second half of the film from the latter, in which the killers are suddenly attacked. All in all, a pretty good little film, shot in a hectic stone-like manner with the typical independent flair and some harder scenes. "
