Intriguing, i'll give a rent. I always loved Slater, he's just had a lot of bad luck come his way over the past decade or so.
True Romance will always be in my top 10.

I thought the Anchor Bay name was no more?
Hear that thud? It is Christian Slater's career dropping dead.

It sucks that Slater's such a has been now, True Romance is in my top 10 films. I'll give this a rent, William H. Macy's my man.

I heard the thud years ago.This looks like a pass but I am sure Elisha looks fantastic in it.What a babe!

That reminds me, why is Elisha in a film with Christian Slater? She can definetely do better than that. Even doing another film with Paris Hilton is a step up from a Slater film.
This IS currently on general release in UK cinemas. Right this second.
Of course hardly any UK cinemas. But all the same.

The trailer was magnificent so hopefully the film is too!
I think all the principal players are great in whatever films that they may do (Well mabye not Cuthbert's Captivity) I've never heard of this film, but the premise seems interesting... Seems like a renter for me if not a buy after viewing
where has Christain's career gone? That would be a great plot for a movie.

Not even Columbo could solve that mystery.

Did anyone think this may actually be a good movie? Just cause Christian Slater is in it doesn't mean it is instantly bad...Just saying give the jokes on the guy a rest. He will never have a great career anymore but the little known, low budget type of stuff might be good for him. Really would love to see Elisha Cuthbert in this, She is generally easy on the eyes but doesn't look right on the cover to me...

Not if it goes direct to DVD. That usually means it is a stinker right away. Only once in a blue moon is there an exception, and I highly doubt any of Slater's film will be one.

It could be never know...It appears to have a half decent cast, so I might give it a shot.
