Review Grim and vivid. A very well made movie about inarticulated despair and utter hopelessness, as chilly as Malick's BADLANDS. --Vincent Canby, The New York Times Sadistic and gripping. Its violence screams NATURAL BORK KILLERS and A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. --Arrow In The Head A dark, forbidding vision. Penelope Spheeris, always fascinated by outsiders, is one of Hollywood's most uncompromising directors. --Patrick Goldstein, The Los Angeles Times
