Solid thriller with good pacing and a stacked cast overall its a good film. I dont like the way this is edited and cut but other than that i liked it, the soundtrack is pretty good too.

I too, would like to fuck a woman next to her abusive husband’s corpse whom we both just killed together with a fiery passion. Keep the resolution alive, folks.
Happy New Year!

This movie is basically just True Romance but with Sean Penn, Jennifer Lopez and the themes are much darker. The soundtrack was alright, the acting was average though Sean Penn was great as he usually is. The villain was really poorly written though I liked Nick Nolte’s performance as the chief of police. Nick Nolte’s character Jake is such a disgusting character it’s insane and I’m not saying way because it’s a gigantic spoiler. The ending was meh, I wasn’t really that happy with it because it just kind of feels like an ending that was just sort of thrown together quickly. Overall it was an alright film with alright acting and an alright soundtrack.
