I've seen all of Tarantino's films and projects, but this one had slipped through the cracks. Glad I finally got a chance to check it out. With this one I learned that Avary's films have an edge/acidness to them that I enjoy.<br /><br />On this one you don't really care much for anyone, everyone is pretty much a douche bag, but with the main character 'Zed' you can tell Avary made an effort to make him likable in the first half of the film, when Zoe tells him that he is a "nice guy" and even though she's a prostitute, Zoe comes off as a good natured person as well, she's a whore to pay for her education, she actually has an honest job and so forth. <br /><br />Still, it's pretty hard to love a character who's a heroin junkie and a thief! You kind of get the feeling that they don't give a crap about anything! <br /><br />Aside from Zoe and Zed, the rest of the cast are pure dirtbags.

I rememb...Haven't watched this film in forever. I remember I watched it as a kid with my friend who was obsessed with Tarantino.<br /><br />I remember it being really thinly plotted and (like you said) lacking in Tarantino gift for making you care about low life characters.<br /><br />I should probably give it a rewatch someday.Jack Thursbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101157160144955486noreply@blogger.com
