Synopsis: Zed's a safe-cracking ex-con who's just deplaned in Paris where he and his childhood crony, Eric, are going to mastermind a huge Bastille Day heist. Before his scheduled rendezvous with Eric, Zed... Zed's a safe-cracking ex-con who's just deplaned in Paris where he and his childhood crony, Eric, are going to mastermind a huge Bastille Day heist. Before his scheduled rendezvous with Eric, Zed spends $200 for a night with Zoe, an angelic, nymph-like prostitute. But their post-coital morning is rudely interrupted by the arrival of Zed's partner in crime, who treats Zoe like a disposable plastic doll. On Bastille Day eve, Zed finally realizes his French connection doesn't believe in advance planning. Instead, Eric and his fraternity of drug-addicted pinheads initiate a non-stop, pre-heist round of drinking, heroin-shooting and pill-popping. From the look of things, they may never pull this robbery off. [More]

An ugly, mean movie that represents the low point for Tarantino knockoffs -- and Tarantino actually produced it!

I am not slamming this Roger Avary film for not being a Quentin Tarantino film. I am slamming it for not being a good Roger Avary film.

The only decent movie Avary has made, an ultra-violent crime caper that owes as much to Tarantino as to film noir, both American and French; Downtown LA stands in for Paris, where the story is set.
