Wasn’t this movie supposed to be good?  Because it’s damn irritating and not just because of the presence of that supremely shitty actress Juliette Lewis.  Seriously, the whole thing seems to be an exercise in “what weird ass stylistic trick can I use in this scene?”.  I don’t even want to call it pretentious, because there seems to be no intelligence to it.  It’s like a .9 on the Tony Scott scale, and Tony Scott sucks (at least recently).   And, of course, the whole thing is a ’satire’ (in scare quotes because it pretty much fails at that) which is so damn heavy-handed that it freaking hurts.  I barely made it past the first half hour, honestly.  It’s excruciating.  Not even the Tarantino script is that good, there’s certainly nothing like the Sicilian scene from True Romance, which I was always led to believe was a similar movie.  Plus the protagonists are ridiculously irritating and unlikeable.  I mean, I know they’re serial killers and all, but American Psycho and Henry both did serial killer movies with bearable (and compelling) protagonists (and Henry was really twisted).  Seriously, I can’t think of a single reason to recommend this movie, maybe because it’s some sort of controversial cultural landmark…but, for realsies, just read the wikipedia page or something.  dumb
