Advertised as Natural Born Killers with sense of humour – this is definitely true. It is a very violent film with some dark comedy moments. This NOT a film for the feint –hearted.

2 troubled teens, Amy Blue (Rose McGowan) and Jordan White (James Duval) are boyfriend and girlfriend who like to take a lot of speed. They meet and pick up a drifter, Xavier Red (Johnathon Schaech), who kills a supermarket clerk. This is the start of their death filled road trip across America. Everywhere they go Xavier kills someone in a very violent, gruesome way and seems to enjoy it. It is also the beginning of a love triangle between the 3 of them.

This is a very violent, gruesome but also humorous film. It is quite bizarre and weird at times but if you liked Natural Born Killers then you will love this. From the bizarre names of some of the characters to weird food orders that always seem to cost $6.66 you will enjoy this.

This is a sexier, funnier alternative of Natural Born Killers and just as violent. Fans of this type of genre will love this.

Rating: 4/5
