A considerable disappointment - By: Dr. W. Onyeama, 28 Apr 2008 
I found this film a major disappointment. The plot seemed hackneyed & the sexual motif contrived & unnecessary. It seems a low budget enterprise & I cannot imagine how anybody could consider this outstanding, for any given year. And why on earth is it being considered an example of film noir? It has nothing representative of that genre either in style, theme or lighting. Film noir was essentiallly typical of the B-feature gangster movies of the 40's & early 50's & with some notable exceptions has not survived that period. This film is certainly NOT an exception to that rule!
oh my - By: Viktoria Veronese, 25 Jan 2008 
this is one of the worst movies I ever saw. Bad actors, stupid story, predictable from the start. If there was something good, sorry I didn't get it.
Good story, but by God, rent it first! - By: Henry Watkinson, 19 Dec 2007 
I will first start off by warning people, those of a a delicate disposition should steer clear of this film. Like any film from the Wachowski Brothers it pushes boundries. It is a simple heist film where the two protaginists attempt to steal 2 million dollars from the mafia. Corky (Gina Gershon) is a recently released inmate & Violet (Jennifer Tilly) is a gangsters moll. Violet's mafia lover Ceser (Joe Pantolino) is the man who obtains the money for the mafia, but when he realizes that Violet has betrayed him he goes & hunts for her & whoever (Corky) shi is with with a veiw to killing the both of them. The only thing a reveiwer should mention to anybody wanting to see this is that Violet & Corky are lesbians & there is a scene of strong lesbian activity near the beginning. An some VERY strong violence just after! Obviously it is not the sort of present one wants to give, unless you've vetted it & your pretty damn sure the recipiant will like it! This is one DVD when it cannot stress the importance of renting it FIRST! I consider myself pretty worldly & even this shocked me!
3/4 - By: Ms. Rjn Kane, 01 Dec 2007 The plot can be a bit cliche & blah. The acting isn't.. brilliant but there is a degree of sincerity in it. The sex scene is short but damn hot :P The great thing about it is the (short-lived) tension between the two women especiallly as one is dating a dangerous (for lack of better word) gangster & finds 'true love' & happiness with this new (very hot) woman, Corky. Also, the fact that at the end, they're still together, that made me smile :) The sexual tension thing, as I mentioned, was pretty short-lived as they sorta get together etc quite quick.. but aye it was a decent watch, little boring though.
pretty cool - By: tracy m, 19 Jul 2007 
when i put this film on i thought oh no i cant sit through this film listening to her voice (violet) but has the film went on i got used to it & i reallly thought what very good acting it was, what a cool story line it became better & better as the film went on,it was one of those films you at to see to the end to see what was going to happen, & the lesbian affair i thought was going to end in tears but i wont tell you anymore i dont want to spoil things.
