With friends like these...you're bound to get stuck!
Some people would die for a million dollars. Others would kill for it. In a frenzy of backstabbing and double dealing, low-lifes in three unrelated storylines manage to entangle themselves in each other's affairs. The fates of the characters mesh, and they get what they deserve as they maim, fondle and rob each other on a sunny California afternoon.

Odd little film
Not terrible but not terribly interesting either
The scene in the swimming pool (with rattle snakes even) is probably the most famous thing about this film
Its kind of a rip off of other genre films (Pulp Fiction) but without any of the things that made that a sucess
The acting (and accents) are pretty poorMore Pulp Fiction fallout - Superdave
The late 90's brought several post Pulp Fiction wannabes (Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead, 2 Days in the Valley) in which unsavory characters cross paths and get tangled up in one another's schemes and some even occasionally find redemption. Aww... And this is another.
Craig Sheffer stands out as a merciless thug due for a comeuppance, who kidnaps a drug chemist (Lucy Liu) in the first of many messy criminal schemes which unravel due to bad luck, bad planning and mostly just bad timing. The bad timing bug hits a philandering spouse, whose punishment rapidly outstrips his crime, and then others who similarly come to grief in random and often comic ways.
The film is a very mixed bag of mostly unlikable characters and squirm-inducing scenes, but its sheer random unpredictability makes it at least somewhat watchable. Don't even try to guess where any of the plotlines are heading or what will happen next. Chances are you will be wrong.
