A muddle from beginning to end. And Tarantino in small doses as an actor is fine. He's in this one much too much.

Pointless and utterly baffling.

Tarantino as an actor... Too bad he didn't write it. The script makes no sense.

Wildly uneven film that proves, if nothing else, Quentin Tarantino can't act.

I know many people are critical of this movie, but I was in just the right state of mind when I saw it and it took me away to a place with alternate possibilities. Definitely not for everyone.
