	Author	Review
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"A wild at heart, anarchic comedy that believes in living dangerously."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A bright burst of action and comedy with a cast that makes for rousing good company"	POS
United States	Desson Thomson The Washington Post	"Cusack's talents are delicate and appealing, but not propulsive enough to lead the movie to triumph."	NEU
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"A bleak, black satire that occasionally strays all the way into 'Pulp Fiction' territory"	POS
United Kingdom	Caroline Westbrook Empire	"Hugely recommended."	POS
Canada	Rick Groen The Globe and Mail	"It takes a satiric bite and leaves you laughing through the pain. For that, we can thank the writers."	POS
