It's an interesting film...there's a neat line in the film paying tribute to "Pulp Fiction," and while it's nowhere near as good as "Pulp," it's definitely a nice "popcorn" kind of film. The film definitely tries to use Tarantino's interlocking character paths technique to spin a dramatic narrative on gun violence, but some of the interaction is obviously forced. For example, there's a scene in a video store with four characters interacting, and then almost immediately after, there's a scene in a bar with four characters interacting, one from the previous scene. I'm not crazy about Gary Sinise's thinly veiled "Bill Gates" character, but the other roles all seem to be strong characters that stand on their own. A movie worth watching on a nice, rainy night.
