Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Seems like another snicker-worthy straight-to-tape crime yarn: after all, it co-stars Jason Priestley as a badass armed robber named Breakfast.

Audience Member One of the wierdest movies I've ever seen, but for some reason I couldn't stop watching it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member kind of a diff role for priestley, don't get his character's name - breakfast?!? not really that exciting of movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member You know it's a bad sign right off the bat when: - characters jump on a city bus (which must be free, because nobody has to pay) and start smoking cig's. Where is this? - these really cool bad guys who rob jewellery stores for a living say that money doesn't mean anything, and proceed to burn the money they just *robbed* from people. So why exactly do they bother??? And if money means nothing to them, why are they so obsessed and concerned with it? Who wrote this crap? - you recognize people you've seen in canadian pizza pocket ad's - the 'bad' guys actually look like people from pizza pocket ad's dressed up like bad guys, making stupid 'mean' faces. - jason priestly is a bad guy Not even worth listing the many reasons why this movie is so annoyingly bad. How do these things get made? It actually made me sad to see Lou Gosset in this c-grade project. Luckily I saw this on TV, so it didn't cost a thing. But it did cost me time. Well, about an hour, until I finally couldn't take anymore. Save yourself both time and money. Avoid. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Lou Gossett Jr. really sucked. I liked Jason Priestley acting crazy. IT's a two star except I liked it, so there ya go. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow, this guy has some bad luck. Pretty good movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Several outcasts randomly hook up and go on a killing and crime spree, not particularly pleasant. The acting is pretty good. Violent, at first, you do feel for the characters but it wears thin and you start not caring. It climaxed too soon, then went downhill. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
