LA Weekly Chuck Wilson
This is a dream cast who practically sing screenwriter Keith Reddin's funny, literate dialogue.

Infuriating grab-bag of a movie.

Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington
The trajectory of the film -- despite its excellent cast and intelligent mounting -- is too preordained.

Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
Its ideas are worth pondering, but as a movie it's less memorable than its interesting cast suggests.

The climactic shootout might have more impact if we actually cared about the so-called characters.

More commendable as social protest than as filmmaking.

The New York Times Dana Stevens
Like a ham-fisted high-concept public service announcement, directed with stagy deliberateness and written with tin-eared vernacular speechiness.

Two generic ideas amount to nothing in this theatrical dark comedy about violence and information overload.

Misfires badly as both an entertainment and a message movie.

TNT RoughCut J. Rentilly
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.

lee f. gave it an8:
I thought it was humorous. it was uneven, but i managed to 'stay with it' until the end and was rewarded by it. true, there are no sympathetic characters, but that's not the point. it was like watching trains come at each other...you wait for the wreck and when it comes, you smile
