Note de hammy-3
Most of this movie is a gritty study of an extreme relationship in which late '80s/early '90s New Mexico is depicted faithfully.
It has knowing references to movies from that period like "Thelma and Louise", "Kalifornia" and "Pulp FIction" and even Ed Harris has a major role adding to the authenticity.
It depicts lesbianism with a frankness that might not have been possible in mainstream cinema at that time.
It embraces it's dark themes with gusto and isn't afraid to shock the audience.
But the ending...it lets the audience down with a wild detour into fantasy that jars with the rest of the movie and left me feeling a little bit cheated.

It's entertaining enough but it really doesn't have the budget or imagination to compete with movies like Grindhouse or Mars Attacks as an homage to old B-Movies.
Lundgren is perfectly cast as a washed-up action movie star and plays along with the limited material he has to work with. Terence Howard seems to treat it too seriously as if it's making a serious point about independent cinemas closing which the movie seems too arch to be doing.
It can just never get the balance between chaos and pathos right for that to happen.
There's just a constant feeling that self-refenential B-Movies were so much better in the late 20th Century and that nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
