This picture depicts the story of a two young women who meet up after going through some very traumatic episodes (rape, murder, beatings etc).
They then go on a robbery and killing spree and have lots of sex in the meantime. This is Thelma and Louise gone wrong. In the end I found that this was quite a watchable film with snappy fast paced dialogue. The two ladies end up becoming quite psychotic as their morals go down the drain as they become addicted to their downward spiral of depravity.
This film asks some important questions of society and how people end up going "insane" due to nasty things happening to them and it does not make you feel sympathy for the characters.
The plot is nothing new but the realism in the way it's shown might be too disturbing for some viewers.
Overall a decent flick but maybe a more eclectic soundtrack would have been better - lots of french punky music every 5 minutes was a bit much. 6/10

This movie has a decent plot and great score with stunning locations and the some of the best car chases ever commited to celluloid. You can see the adrenalin in those driver's/actors eyes for real. Not the best film in the world but highly recommended. Easliy one of the best from '98.
This "true story" gets the Hollywood treatment which invents a fairy tale for the uneducated audience. If you want to see a more realistic version of the events in this movie, then please watch "The General" directed by John Boorman. This is a much more accurate picture of what really went down!
Also much better was a TVM, the name of which escapes me (it may also be called "The General"). Both of these film are much better than this cheap Hollywood rehash! Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of the output from Hollywood studios - but it is criminal when they produce fiction like Ordinary Decent Criminal which is based on recent true events!
