Goofs:
Continuity: In the earlier scenes the car is a 1970 Cutlass with factory AM-FM radio, sport steering wheel, and dual hood scoops. When we see the car again in the final scenes it is now a 1971 Cutlass with aftermarket CD player and NO hood scoops. The story we are given that it was repainted does not explain away the fact that it is an entirely different car. moreSoundtrack:

Tobey Maguire had to start somewhere before becoming Spiderman. His acting is quite good even if his aimless and clueless character makes no sense. Here's the plot: a motel owner's son hooks up with a hooker tenant, hangs out with his gay buddy (who seems to have a crush on him) and steals a car from an icy villainess assassin. Then a lot of other plot points occur that have nothing to do with each other. The first half is OK but then quickly disintegrates into this tangled non-sensical mess. Wilson Cruz does his best as Tobey's gay friend but his acting is too good for the amateurish script. Adam West as a father who pimps his daughter is an interesting stunt cast but who cares by the end. I bought the DVD for five bucks and paid about $4.79 too much.
