 "This is a great gangster film and should be considered a classic for the dialogue alone. Tom Regan, bursting into a room of scantily clothed showgirls, "Close your eyes, ladies, I'm coming through." Tom Regan going back into the bedroom with Myrna after just conversing with his boss and her lover Leo and Myrna asking what him what he told Leo: "I told him you were a tramp and he should dump you."

 "Great movie! If you like most of the Wilson brother's movies, you'll definitely like this one. Luke Wilson is a likeable sleazeball. The kind of person you know you shouldn't like but do. The sort of character Vince Vaughn usually plays.The movie manages to shift back and forth between comedy and sentimental drama and back to comedy with ease. This is not easy to do. The only criticism I have is that Eddie Griffin's talents seem to have been wasted in a minor role. He is a great comic actor and if he was going to be in the cast the script should have given him more to work with. DVD extras: There is a hilarious interview of Seymour Cassel and Harry Dean Stanton by Andrew and Luke Wilson. Harry Dean Stanton is either convincingly acting crazy or certifiably nuts. " [More]
