With just 17% on Rotten Tomatoes, a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of anyone who loves watching a plan come together and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. Sits nicely alongside Thunderbolt and Lightfoot or Pulp Fiction.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Light on its feet, at 1 hr 43 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
Johnny Destiny burns into Las Vegas in his hot Plymouth RoadRunner, stopping only to pick up a stranger stranded in the desert. But then, things aren't always as they seem. Anything can happen in that town of many possibilities...especially since there's been some weird electrical disturbances. As the stranger, fresh out of prison, tries to put his life back together--to recover his money from an old bank heist and the girl he lost in doing the job--something keeps interfering with his plans. Is it fate...or just Destiny?
