Don't listen to the negative reviews
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
View MoreTells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
View MoreWhen I stumbled onto HBO after hooking it up myself one night, I tried my ass off to watch Oz, Flypaper was starting, really if you begin watching from the start, I really don't understand how just the opening scene alone wouldn't keep 90% of viewers watching, because SPOILERS!! when your opening a movie, nobody knows anything about, with 2 kids obviously pissing a man in a car off behind them, then pulling off the road, lighting his car on fire, then diving through the front windshield and burning to his death, while 2 little kids on bikes just watch, those who felt zero interest after that, are the kinds that think movies like anything that wins Oscars are good, people who vote awards to movies that are 4 hrs long and normal people must do meth before watching cause they cant stay awake through them, that opening scene was all I needed, and since that night, Flypaper is one of my all time favs, all these morons on here bashing it, saying it doesn't go anywhere, they are all either sub or to high of intelligence, no you gotta actually know the life this movie is showing, its not just a bunch of people pulp fiction style path crossing, nope, these are good old red blooded American white trash tales, daily lives, of meth addicts, crooks, cheating business men, and basically just every kind of white middle American drug addicted piece of shiz losers u encounter in places like Ogden Utah, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Little Rock, etc. and really the actors play their parts so well, u begin to question if they to are even acting, as they seem way to good to be merely pretending their roles, who absolutely takes this show and stands high on a pedestal is the outstanding acting and character of local businessman John C McGinley, one of my favs anyway, between McGinley and Sheffer you start sympathizing for them, even though, they are both out and out just scum,bags, who fit perfectly into the cast of all the other scumbags, who are all fulfilling an agenda of some sort, but u get the feeling they all know each other, except for the couple who are met into each other by the rest of the cast, they are all crooks, they are all up to no good, and McGinley absolutely steals the entire movie as the philandering, unfaithful husband to be, whose fiancé is so sure he's a cheater, she's going to hire Dane Cook (in his 1st movie) to set him up, and after McGinley, takes line hook bait, what ensues for him from then on, right up to the end of the movie, is nothing but pure hilarity, and bad bad ju ju, McGinley, is probably one of the most underrated actors out there, after watching him play the psychotic kidnapper in that little mini series that they wont release on DVD, anyone who doubts his acting ability is just a cheesedikson, if your not addicted to this movie on McGinley, alone by the end, your an idiot, and who cares about Lucy Lu? seriously I didn't even care when i first saw this, i was like oh Lucy Lu's getting banged, oh wow she has breasts, wow, now when Sadie Frost gets banged by Shane Brolly, now that's a bang and nothing in any part of Lucy Lu seen even comes close to it, the entire undertone to this movie is a day in the life of a bunch of white street trash, those who know, clearly understand it, most probably do not, there is no attempt at Pulp Fiction here, though to people who don't know, I can see why you'd believe that, this movie is only funny in a sick sad criminal way, there are no truly humorous, or comedic lines written for this movie, all the humor is ironic to each situation, most anyone can probably relate to McGinley, situation, which is why if your going to even attempt to watch this, his problems are probably the only ones you'll get, and he steals the show with them, Sheffer I have to say counter carries this movie, playing a piece of scum junkie, who along with his partner just drive around and rob meth labs, Sheffer really plays the role of a human who's been exposed to the chemicals of meth a little to long, and he plays it to a Tee, but you see, unless you have known a person like this, how could you relate, this movie is a cult movie, relating only to a very small demo of Americans, that's why nobody's seen it, and those who do rarely get it, if you are part of the scene, you watch this, and you'll instantly understand it, if not, you'll just see a pulp fiction rip off and a whole bunch of stories about a bunch of people that don't seem to make sense or really come to an ending, and that's really all there is to this great movie, either way I don't see how anyone could not be entertained by it,plenty of filth, crime, murder, drug use, sex, nudity, profanity, bestiality dialogue, and much much more stuff that nobody in their right mind would ever pass as appropriate, but if you are offended by that stuff, and your a lame, yeah you probably should go check out the Pat Dempsey movie that couldn't even produce an original title, cause this one is only for the true Americans
View MoreThe late 90's brought several post Pulp Fiction wannabes (Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead, 2 Days in the Valley) in which unsavory characters cross paths and get tangled up in one another's schemes and some even occasionally find redemption. Aww... And this is another. Craig Sheffer stands out as a merciless thug due for a comeuppance, who kidnaps a drug chemist (Lucy Liu) in the first of many messy criminal schemes which unravel due to bad luck, bad planning and mostly just bad timing. The bad timing bug hits a philandering spouse, whose punishment rapidly outstrips his crime, and then others who similarly come to grief in random and often comic ways. The film is a very mixed bag of mostly unlikable characters and squirm- inducing scenes, but its sheer random unpredictability makes it at least somewhat watchable. Don't even try to guess where any of the plot lines are heading or what will happen next. Chances are you will be wrong.
View MoreGreat story on several levels of ripoffs, backstabbing and deception. Perfectly acted parody of LA life, very funny and understated. Excellent performances especially from the 3 actresses - Lucy Alexis Liu, Talisa Sota, and Sadie Frost. Very much in the same vein as '2 Days in the Valley' (1996). Some strange sex scenes and the violence is almost comical. 3 separate but interconnected story lines occurring on a sunny LA day centered around 1 million dollars in cash, inspire the quirky characters to commit a litany of depraved and devious acts. Not a well known movie, but a little gem if you can track it down - well worth watching.
View MoreWell I didn't see the entire movie, but there is a sex scene where they are laying on a blanket on the ground covered in rattle snakes. Further more it seems to make the sex better after every 'bite.'Wild movie
