the leading man is my tpye

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Kiefer Sutherland directed and reserved for himself the best part in Truth Or Consequences, NM. He's one kill crazy amoral dude in this film.Vincent Gallo gets released from prison and within the day he's greeted by his girlfriend Kim Dickens and they hook up with Kiefer Sutherland and Mykelti Williamson for a caper involving robbing drug dealer John C. McGinley who Gallo has bad history with.We find out early enough that Sutherland really enjoys pulling that trigger. In what should have been a simple robbery he kills McGinley out of some pique and then kills another who turn out to be an undercover cop. Getting away they kill a few more cops.The next step for these out of control hoods is to rip off and kill Mafia kingpin Rod Steiger. Now with the organized crime and the police hunting them, they give no indication of slowing down.Sutherland the director let's Sutherland the actor have full range and he goes with it. Totally fascinating performance.The second one to pay attention to is Kevin Pollak whose camper is commandeered by the gang and he and wife Donna Moreland are taken hostages. Moreland is in proper fear, but Pollak starts stockholming with this gang. Makes for some very interesting behavior and he's fscinating to watch.The shootout, where else but the town that changed it's name from Hot Springs to the name of a radio program as a gimmick. Truth Or Consequences, NM is a fascinating and fast paced caper film where things quite don't work out and a few aren't whom they seem.

This really is in my top 10 favorite movies. It is so underrated that it makes me mad lol. I honestly think this is Kiefer Sutherland's best movie aside from Lost Boys. He really steals the show in here. But all the actors are amazing in this. From the main roles to the minor ones. Truly a classic if you ask me.

I was pleasantly surprised at this film,which I just saw for the first time today, and actually I thought this was better than both "Way of the Gun" and "Usual Suspects", because, in my view, TOC,NM didn't try to be too deep with alot of unnecessary twists and turns, and "ooh ya need yer thinkin' caps on fer this one" type of writing/directing style. It was just a fun violent movie. My only disappointment was the inherently predictable "everyone dies Mexican standoff" ending. I am becoming increasingly impressed with Kiefer Sutherland, and when I saw that he directed this too, I was sold. Everyone is always talking about 24, so I need to finally check it out. Phone Booth, Freeway, et al. He is on the path to legendary status ala his dad. Anyway, watch this one if you are into violence and hilarious vulgar arguments amongst the group.

Another heist-gone-wrong movie. It's been done before - criminals are cool etc. However this is still pretty good and thrilling all the way through. It is rarely slow or dull. All the actors are good with Gallo really bringing his character to life and making you feel for him. Sutherland does a good job of directing and even plays the crazy killer well.The film evens tackles the issue of us viewing these people as cool - not something many do - and challenges us on our admiration of them (even if it is on a basic level).Yes, you seen it before - but that doesn't mean it's totally unoriginal or not entertaining to watch.
