Writer/director team Drew Daywalt and Dave Schneider take an obvious leaf out of movie magpie Quentin Tarantino's book for their debut feature. Executively produced by Tarantino's longtime business partner Lawrence Bender, this highly derivative heist comedy patches together a ragbag of multi-genre clichés, pop culture references and flashy camera techniques. Coming across like Human Traffic meets Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, it follows debt-ridden 20-something Ben McGewan (Seann William Scott) and his slacker pals as they struggle to pull off a bank robbery using a nightclub rave as cover. Throw into the mix a vengeful Mob boss (a blond-haired Lou Diamond Phillips), undercover federal agents, Chinese gangsters and even a couple of transvestites, and you've got an engagingly daft, if predictable, feature. Admittedly, it's not what you'd call demanding viewing, and the reliance on jump cuts, not to mention the pulsating rave soundtrack, won't be to everybody's taste. But then if dance music and trippy visuals give you a headache, you're probably too old for the film anyway.

A crook quietly plots his revenge against the boss who murdered his brother while working for him.
