My, oh, my.I first received a copy of this film on VHS back when that was still the industry standard at the time and watched it multiple times.Absolutely horrific and an illustration of just how bad an average middle-class life can turn on a dime for no good reason what-so-ever.At the time I had a Lady Friend from work who wanted to borrow it. She had a young child at home and I warned her this was some rough stuff and explicitly told her that her kid definitely didn't need to see it.She thanked me later.This film has not lost it's impact over the years. It is a terrible story to behold and is a testament to the sometimes vapid themes otherwise normal people will overlook just to appear as respectable human beings to the rest of the world.No one has a happy ending in this story.

Christian Slater at his very best! one of a kind movie which is like hangover on steroids! This is a must see movie! Vegas at full tilt! A movie that makes u think about your next bachelor party in Vegas! Don't take a Stripper/hooker to a marble bathroom, slippery! Be careful, be very careful! And don't trust no one! A GREAT GREAT MOVIE~! Christian Slater at his very best! one of a kind movie which is like hangover on steroids! This is a must see movie! Vegas at full tilt!

It is a Very Easy Thing to Hate, this Blackest of Black Comedies. Even if You found it Outrageous, Deliriously Different, Scathingly Sadistic, and in Good Bad Taste, the Constant Yelling and Screaming in the First Half maybe its Biggest Fault.But the Movie is so Twisted and Demented the Watch is Worth it because it is Laugh Out Loud Funny in Parts and is a Guilty Pleasure at Least and a Triumph of Nighlistic Nastiness at Best. Nothing Quite Like it although it does at Times seem Influenced by Other Films of the Same Natural Tendency to Taunt the Viewer with Over the Top Tastelessness.But as Divisive as it is Delightfully Engaging it is one of the those Love it or Hate it Types that will Outrage Sensitives and Tickle those with a Penchant to go for the Jugular. Subtlety is Nowhere to be Seen and the Film Never Even Tries to be at all Friendly and Inviting. A Good Cast and Much to Say about Yuppies, Traditional Values, and Morals.Recommended for Cult Movie Lovers, Off Beat Seekers, and those who have the Constitution to Digest Very Bad Things that are Served as Sustenance for those Looking for Some Creative Cuisine and not just the Usual Helping of Popcorn and Sweet Drinks.

I dot get why it got such a poor rating at IMDb. I saw the movie not knowing anything about it and i loved it, to say the least. Its a good cast first of all and the story is just great. The movie is a celebration of moments that will make you laugh and a second later think, what did i just see. Its spiraling out of control just as fast as it should to make all the sense it needs to. What starts off as a simple plan just cant stay that simple. Peter Berg did a great thing writing and directing the movie and make it a continuous flow of unexpected twists and turns that keep on surprising you.This a great movie i enjoyed very much and that i will recommend.
