Guncrazy Reviews
Horrible DVD release
The Sterling DVD (comes in a white DVD case) release of this film is horrible. It has a 1.33:1 full frame transfer. The transfer looks like it's from a laserdisc. Also, it doesn't contain ANY extras whatsoever. There's a DVD release of this film from First Look pictures (it has a colored DVD case) that features a 1.78:1 widescreen presentation with bonus features such as:
Audio-commentary by director Tamra Davis
Interview with Drew Barrymore
Behind-the-scenes featurette
Trivia game
Storyboards
If you like this movie, try finding the First Look pictures version on DVD.
Not Quite Trash Classic
So what is this movie? A film noir homage(a la "Gun Crazy")? A Bonnie and Clyde homage? A Lifetime movie-of-the-week? Or is it just plain trash that falls just short of classic status. Drew Barrymore and James LeGros earnestly play the trailer park trash nymphette and her prison pen pal turned partner in crime, respectively. The movie engages your attention throughout. What it lacks are those over-the-top moments that a movie like this needs to attain that midnight movie trash classic status. There is some interesting casting here. Billy Drago (he played Frank Nitti in "The Untouchables") as the trailer-park preacher. Tracey Walter, veteran of Jonathan Demme films, appears here as a barroom patron. Joe D'Allesandro, veteran of Andy Warhol films and the Sonny Steelgrave segment of TV's "Wiseguy", appears as Barrymore's mother's boyfriend.
