What a bunch of cry baby idiots! For one, this movie was not about all the ppl of 29 palms or 29 palms in general. It was about ppl in particular inwhich this movie portrays very well, it doesnt matter if these ppl were in Atlantic city. Notice that most of the negative reviews only point out what the movie isnt about, geesh! one can only feel that maybe these viewers are mad because they werent in the movie are no one showed their neighborhood. lol Anyway, moving on to the movie itself, O'donnell gives a superb and somewhat comedic performance as a bad guy hitman who runs with the money, Michael Rappaport plays a crooked cop whos out for a little reward of his own when he comes across the other characters and their struggle for possession of the money. Jeremy does a good job with playing the innocent guy role as well as cook playing a valley girl gone bad, and Bill pullman as a goofy weird clerk at a bus station. This movie does what pulp fiction didnt and thats keep the pace with all of its characters and how they interact and cross each other paths. I also like the Indians in this movie and their whole buy back the land casino gig. I won't go into detail about the movie because Im not into spoilers but to be brief this is a movie revolving around a bag full of money, and what ppl will do to get their hands on it. Great acting, good plot I would reccomend this movie to anyone who wants to see something that doesnt drag in the wind.....................nuff said!

The storyline was old and tired to me. I did like the fact that it was filmed in 29 Palms, which is close by to where I live. I liked that it used a take on the Indian Casinos, which are all the rage here. I like Jeremy Davis and he has a cool subtleness in the way he performs, very sensitive and creating a depth to his character. I liked O'Donnell who plays against his cast type and does a good job, he really looks the part. My favorite was Bill Pullman, that guy can really act tripped out. I think he acts really freaky in this film and I liked that. I wish he had more scenes. Rappaport who is also good is in the film. I like him, its seems like he can play a cop good in any film. The other characters were over the top and I couldn't get into them, except Cook who plays her character pretty straight. I loved the ending, that was funny. The rest of the film was too predictable and I got bored with it. Anyways, for me it was probably 2 stars.

great movie about an undercover cop who is being chased down by the mob because he has the guys bag of money. Chris O'Donnell and Jeremy Davies give forceful performances, a good story but brims to a hault somewhere in the middle and then picks up with its finale. other actors like Racheal Leigh Cook, Joe Polito and Litefoot(also a rapper) contribute supporting roles

Goodness... where can one start about how bad this movie is? I bought it blind, based off the name. I grew up in the real 29 Palms, and lets just say, the only part of the town that it "showed" was a bus stop. Which never existed. It portrays everyone there as... well... ignorant thieves. This movie jumps so much that I was almost lost, and thats a hard thing to accomplish. As soon as the film was over, I located the nearest trash can and threw it out. Save your money, dont buy it, and visit the city's actual website, that at least has more appeal and you can follow it easier than this movie.

I would have chosen zero stars if it were an option. Despite the fact that some big name talents are in this movie, It is not worth seeing for any reason. The actors are good actors, but they must have been paying back favors or debts to friends, I don't know why any of them didn't walk off the set. This movie would be bad for a student film, but it's not even that. The director and the editor desperatly need to go to film school and make a few student films first. I honestly don't know how this film got made. I grew up in the "real" 29 Palms in Southern California, and all this film does is tarnish the city's name. Damn the director, damn him to b-movie hell.
