this movie tried hard to be like tarantino and especially pulp fiction, copying several things wholesale. but that's not even the main problem.
half the dialogue (seriously!) is intelligible. I don't know who you were trying to sell this film to, but it certainly wasn't an international crowd. the film tries WAY too hard to be funny tarantino-style, but most of the scenes don't work at all. it's not bad in the way hollywood garbage of this century is, but while watching it I just wished for it to be over already. none of the people were likeable whatsoever, none of the deaths therefore mattered, key scenes made no sense whatsoever (what, you're gonna swerve your car because your windshield gets splattered? ahem, there's a WIPER...?!), characters were black, jewish, russian, whatever - that doesn't make them interesting, try characterisation instead! I can't stress the part with trying to be oh so cool enough... yet most was copied from other movies wholesale (pigs eating people - hannibal (the book), winning a rigged boxing match - do I even have to say it?!) - interposing a dozen uninteresting characters and trying to force the next pulp fiction without any charisma simply didn't work at all. not the worst movie I've ever seen, but I certainly will never watch this mess again.
