But Renee isn't the only reason to own this movie. I was equally impressed with the performances of all the other actors. Some scenes, especially the violent ones, are somewhat over-the-top, but then again that's what makes this movie so fun to watch. And contrary to what many say I found the level of violence high but not excessive. This isn't only a "shoot 'em up" pointless movie; there's more than just stage blood.
As for the DVD itself, bonus features are adequate but not overwhelming. I'm not too crazy about the letterbox format but at least the image and sound quality are good. All in all, a great movie for the fan of the "Pulp Fiction" style, or anyone who wants to see Renee Zellweger as a "bad girl." And get the soundtrack too!
Renee Zelleweger is an absolute gem throughout, as an oversexed,undereducated gun moll. This movie explores what happens whenpeople with Texas-sized dreams meet the limitations of theirsquirrel-sized brains, and manages to do so with wit, style anda light touch, even as it gets breath-takingly violent. And, yes, folks, Peter Fonda DOES steal the whole picture in his briefturn as Starlene's burnt-out hippie dad. Don't miss this!
