    This is a dream cast who practically sing screenwriter Keith Reddin's funny, literate dialogue.
  2. The trajectory of the film -- despite its excellent cast and intelligent mounting -- is too preordained.
  3. Its ideas are worth pondering, but as a movie it's less memorable than its interesting cast suggests.
  4. 50
    Infuriating grab-bag of a movie.
  5. 40
    The climactic shootout might have more impact if we actually cared about the so-called characters.
  6. 40
    More commendable as social protest than as filmmaking.
  7. Misfires badly as both an entertainment and a message movie.
  8. Like a ham-fisted high-concept public service announcement, directed with stagy deliberateness and written with tin-eared vernacular speechiness.
  9. 30
    Two generic ideas amount to nothing in this theatrical dark comedy about violence and information overload.
  10. 25
    Reddin's script lacks the sophistication that might make the film's message about guns more than a 90-minute public service announcement with a good cast.
