A stolen book from an escort agency sets off a string of chaotic events.

Geoff Pevere

Toronto Star

Cheech is ultimately done in by the derivative nature of its backward structure, too many people-screaming-in-rooms scenes and the almost entirely disengaging nature of its characters.

Rated: 2/4

Rick Groen

Globe and Mail

Directing such a cavalcade, Patrice Sauv seems less an assured auteur than an overtaxed traffic cop, waving this one ahead and holding that one back and ultimately, when the final pile-up looms, just tooting his whistle in shrill frustration.

Rated: 2/4

Jam! Movies

Not to everyone's tastes, this Quebec film is nasty, brutal and pulpish. But it has wry humour, too, and works by sucking you into its low-rent world.

Rated: 3/5

Brian Gibson

Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)

With its garish and seamy scenes, its flabby shots and not-snappy-enough dialogue, Cheech is often like a nasty old pair of leopard-print underwear, its elastic frayed and loose.

C'est ça, Cheech? Non, sérieusement, c'est incroyablement bien réalisé, ça il n'y a aucun doute là-dessus. Sauvé a fait une job ahurissante, et c'est ce qui a donné à Cheech la réputation qu'il a aujourd'hui. Par contre, il me semble que l'histoire est un peu maigre, et c'est de vouloir nous prendre pour des idiots que de nous le comparer à Crash. Ce n'est pas notre Crash québécois. L'histoire est intéressante, mais les personnages se connaissent tous, et ça en enlève à la beauté de la chose. Bon petit film quand même.

Film dÃ©primant. Je m'attendais Ã autre chose mais je suis restÃ©e accrochÃ© je voulais savoir comment tout finirais. La finale est d'un humour noir...

Really really brutal. I think it tried to label itself as the Quebecois "crash", but it was just a B rate drama
