If you flash past this movie back up and give it a go., 23 March 2002
10/10
Author: RPcrazy from Melbourne, Australia

I've nominated this as my favourite movie in the IMDb survey. It is funny, quirky, love the music, love the story, there are some terrific lines, great cast line-up and above all my all time favourite actor Robert Patrick (RP) stars.

Why did I choose this as the best movie? Apart from sexy RP's involvement I can see myself watching it over and over again. It is a fun, light-hearted movie with an action-packed ending.

<<Harley (Jennifer Esposito): Mind if I smoke?

Ray (Robert Patrick): Actually I do. It's not good for you. Second hand smoke's not good for you either. Please? (Yes - you go RP!)>>

If you've seen other RP movies you'll notice he's given up smoking since.

To all RP enthusiasts I recommend this movie as an addition to your ever increasing video libraries.
