    The two women relate brilliantly, and the movie has lots of fun creating an erotic subtext between them.

    Remains exciting, even as we laugh at the amateur-night antics of the women.

    Dorothy and Petula leave a bloodier trail than Thelma and Louise did.

    Pitches itself somewhere between "Bound" and "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," trying to add a feminist twist to the spate of Britain's bloody gangster thrillers and never quite succeeding.

    Cold and stylish, slick and violent.

    Would be more appealing if the women's behavior weren't alternately moronic and venal.

    For folks who like a genuinely tense suspense film with heavy doses of black humor, however, this ought to do it.

    The only constant is the violence, which assaults rather than amuses.

    Renders the net result fairly squarely unenjoyable, on almost any level.

    There is some dark humor in the movie, of the kind where you laugh that you may not gag.

    That it is a pseudo-hip filmmaking fantasy doesn't make it any less pretentious, or any less a turnoff.

    The movie veers so wildly between being zany and grim, we're left feeling more empty than entertained.

    Plays like a movie where the script went missing on the third day of shooting.

    Beneath its studiedly ugly surface, this bargain-basement answer to "Thelma and Louise" is as loathsome as any mindless, blood-drenched Hollywood action-adventure yarn.
