5/5 Truly underrated gem of a film
  by Jason D. Cole (Lexington, Ky.)
When you think about the great gangster films it is truly sad that this little gem doesn't come to most people's minds. Riding a great screenplay that mixes solemn topics with biting satire this film takes the viewer on a journey that bobs and weaves through a city not known for the greatest journeys. Check out this one of a kind film.

Ever try to do the right thing and it turns out wrong? Multiply that by 100 fold. Being in the mob and messing up the way these fellas did is deadly. Follow the dialogue closely or you will miss many small cues.

Buck wheats cause you to imbibe boat drinks lol. Both terms mean you're not on this physical plane... I dare you to give it a name ;)

5/5 Without over-analyzing...

So it's a Tarantino knock-off. So it's too self-aware and big for its britches. For crysakes, just sit down, pop it in the DVD player and suspend your disbelief for 90 minutes or so. This movie is just plain fun to watch. It's on the very short list of movies I actually want to own.

5/5 Don't ask for the "buckwheat" pancakes...

See the movie, and you'll understand the reference. An often overlooked movie that has a lot of special acting roles. A MUST see for any one who likes crime/gang/ action/drama/love movies. Wonderful work by A Garcia, and Chris Walken is memorably evil as the "Man with the Plan". All around great flick - you'll be quoting lines from this one for a while, and Gabrielle Anwar - wow! "Boat Drinks" for all!
