The title says it all - somehow this found it's way on to my list (my partner swears it wasn't her but it most definitely wasn't me!) but please learn from out mistakes and keep it off your own!
A first rate crime film, violent and action packed with western influences. This has a great plot, some neat twists and turns and led by two great characters played by Ryan Phillippe and Benicio Del Toro. They play two drifters who see an opportunity, after overhearing a conversation, to kidnap a young pregnant woman (Juliette Lewis) acting as a surrogate for a rich couple and hold her to ransom. What they quickly find out is that the baby's father-to-be is a top crime boss and soon has a host of mercenaries on their tail. James Caan is in a support role and two menacingly cold mercenaries are wonderfully played by Taye Diggs and Nicky Katt. This has some unique chase sequences and action set pieces and the film ends in a deserted Mexican brothel in a climactic battle that has obviously been influenced to some extent by The Wild Bunch (1969). This has some unflinchingly tough scenes but it is at all times exciting and well executed with a sharp script, editing and confidently directed by Christopher McQuarrie in his first film. Good, solid adult crime thriller that is well worth seeking out if you've not seen it.
