Writer-directors Michael and Mark Polish ... are going for something grittier in their follow-up, Jackpot. Unfortunately, this entails mixing country-kitsch cliches and excessive vulgarity with their narrative flourishes. Aug 17, 2001 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The Polish brothers seem more intent on giving their film an artsy sheen than on making sense of the characters or their plight. Sep 24, 2001 | Rating: 2/5
