Everyone in the movie speaks in a hip, irony-filled manner. I believe it's time to retire this practice, as it is growing ever more tiresome. When the Gent says, “So what you’re sayin’ is...that the booty…in the box…that I already said…I want nothing from…is none of my business?” it is not clever, it is annoying. That is not even a very egregious example. No one speaks like this in real life, because it would be too annoying for those around to bear.
Tarantino fans can quite easily skip this film. In fact everyone can quite easily skip this film. Exploitation fan will probably find the violence too fleeting and I cannot see who else the filmmakers are trying to appeal to. In attempting to make an arty, hip, exploitation film, Bishop has made a film that is not artistic, hip, or even a fun diversion.
