Dorothy and Petula's lives are inextricably thrown together, bonded by a common flaw.
Dorothy's on the run from her boyfriend and Petula should be doing the same.
Evasion, blackmail, murder, betrayal, revenge, and a suitcase full of money.
it's all there....and then some....
Back in 2000, these films were ten a penny. Still riding high on the Guy Ritchie bandwagon, this falls into the same category as Circus, Rancid Aluminium, Love Honour and Obey, and Hard Men.
These were all films with major flaws, but for some reason, apart from Hard Men, they were all highly watchable, with some very kooky elements to them.
You really had to be around at the time of the films releases to appreciate this particular sub genre, and this one is no different, having been critically panned on initial release, there was something screaming in the film stating 'I am a very good idea, but poorly executed'.
And while the film has a very poor narrative and so many clichés, it's hard not to enjoy it.
Basically Thelma and Louise for generation X, Lynch and Weisz are really very good in their roles, but the writers have made a fatal error in making all the male characters rogues, and all the females victims, right up until the third act.
There's red herrings galore come the final act, but it's just too bonkers to be a bad movie, its never boring, but makes very little sense.
Luckily for me, I loved this sub genre, looking forward to all the wannabe crime dramas with style us Brits churned out.
a great companion piece with High heels and Low Lifes, basically a carbon copy of this movie.
