Washington Post Stephen Hunter
The two women relate brilliantly, and the movie has lots of fun creating an erotic subtext between them.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Michael O'Sullivan
Wonderfully empowering to watch Petula and Dorothy turn the tables on their testosterone-crazed tormentors.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
Remains exciting, even as we laugh at the amateur-night antics of the women.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Amy Taubin
Dorothy and Petula leave a bloodier trail than Thelma and Louise did.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
Moves at a swift clip with pungent performances.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
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.
Read Full Review >Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern
Pretty bad, and pretty funny.
New Times (L.A.) Luke Y. Thompson
For folks who like a genuinely tense suspense film with heavy doses of black humor, however, this ought to do it.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
Cold and stylish, slick and violent.
TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Would be more appealing if the women's behavior weren't alternately moronic and venal.
Read Full Review >Mr. Showbiz Larry Terenzi
The only constant is the violence, which assaults rather than amuses.
Film.com Gemma Files
Renders the net result fairly squarely unenjoyable, on almost any level.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
The movie veers so wildly between being zany and grim, we're left feeling more empty than entertained.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Loren King
That it is a pseudo-hip filmmaking fantasy doesn't make it any less pretentious, or any less a turnoff.
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
There is some dark humor in the movie, of the kind where you laugh that you may not gag.
Read Full Review >Variety Derek Elley
Plays like a movie where the script went missing on the third day of shooting.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
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.
