      Rolling Stone

      It's a perversely comic movie ride into the wild blue of crime and punishment.

      Variety

      Tartly written and vividly performed by a fine ensemble cast, Gary Fleder's bracingly entertaining first feature covers familiar ground in a fresh, breezy way.

      Colorful. [1 December 1995, p.D13]

      On balance, I think it's an interesting miss, but a movie you might enjoy if (a) you don't expect a masterpiece, and (b) you like the dialogue in Quentin Tarantino movies.

      More of a pretender than a contender in a field that includes superior entries like "Reservoir Dogs" and "The Usual Suspects."

      Austin Chronicle

      The movie features a very cool soundtrack and more hip lingo than two ears can absorb. But, like the air in Denver, this movie is spread awfully thin.

      TV Guide Magazine

      Largely vapid, borderline homophobic, and surprisingly treacly.

      Washington Post

      An overwrought gangster fable.
