★ 5.7 editorial score
Tarantino sold this script to pay for Reservoir Dogs and Tony Scott shot it with real affection: a comic book clerk and a call girl leave Detroit with the wrong suitcase.
“Its title notwithstanding, this film is about tough guys. And it has been cast to present a super-hip white villains' Hall of Fame. Despite the unexplained absence of Harvey Keitel, practically every other dyed-in-the-wool contemporary heavy is on hand, each of them thoroughly enjoying Mr. Tarantino's arch, colorful dialogue and the ripe opportunities it provides.”
