Audience Member A dark, gritty b-movie that's basically a redux of Badlands. Given the time period this came out, and the general aesthetic one would think this was a cheap Tarantino ripoff, but this actually preceded his outings. But it doesn't change it from feeling like a weak copycat... Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/07/22 Full Review Audience Member A hidden gem! One of the quintessential 90s movies. I used to think this was a Tarantino rip-off, but it actually came out before True Romance and Natrural Born Killers. It may be a bit gritty, dark and low budget, but it deserves to be a cult classic. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member When a class assignment calls for the students to have pen pals, Anita (Drew Barrymore) begins corresponding with an intimate, Howard Hickock (James LeGros) in a California prison.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member edgy is a term that pertains to certain points in this film. dark and disgusting, keeps me drawn in but lack of reality pushes me away. i can see myself watching one or two more times in my lifetime. although now i know the end and there are truly no surprises in store for the viewer. just bland overall. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member not her best, but i still like it.

They make plans to meet in person; when they do, she finds him a job, they draw closer physically and psychologically, and decide to cement their union by embarking on a crime spree. also stars Billy Drago, Joe Dallesandro, Rodney Harvey, Michael Ironside, Ione Sky, Billy Bates and Ray Bickel. directed by Tamra Davis Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
