Mini-Review: Mostly entertaining (enhanced by a more than competent soundtrack from Mike Shinoda), but not something that merits more than a single viewing probably. The action eventually seems somewhat samey, such that the films 100 minutes are at least 10 too many. Also, while I don't fault the movie for having what little plot it does, I do fault how flimsy that plot ultimately feels. I wonder if Hollywood can do better...

Mini-Review: B&W used to good effect (though disliked stark electric chair scene), e.g. the ominous meetings between Crane & Dave (especially at Nerdlinger's) + the sunlight through & shadows of the prison bars during revelation of Heisenberg Uncertainy defense. Sadly, things go somewhat downhill starting w/ the superfluous blowjob / crash scene. Crane's blame for Tolliver's death seems contrived as Dave's assault history would surely come out. Also, what's the deal w/ the door-to-door salesman flashback?

Mini-Review: A shallow homage that extends perhaps an hour of story into a grueling 100+ minutes, I feel my current rating of 45 might even be too high. Despite being a decent looking film (save for the horribly-distracting faux-grain effects) with some ok performances, the story itself is poorly paced and mostly just bad (and not in some sort of slyly-cool-meta-ironic-hipster way either). There's little to recommend here unless you've got a craving for some gratuitous gross-outs with a side of Rose McGowan.
