Not bad at all

I dont know why so many people have written negative reviews of this movie. I found it really exciting with all the twists and the original heists. I hear people complaining about the fake background during the car chase scenes, so what, so did Pulp Fiction but I didnt hear anyone complain about that! The pace of the movie never lets up, and it has some really funny scenes, especially with the little dwarf and the Russian mafia. The last scene was a classic! The acting was not that bad, it didnt defer from the movie. Daryl Hannah looked hot for her age, and Christian Slater is still as cool as ever. I really enjoyed the heist scenes, especially the first one with the ambulance. That was really original and exciting. I cant understand how people can hate this movie and yet find something like One False Move so good, which I found to be long, boring and slow. 9/10 from me.
