Synopsis

To keep their struggling used-car dealership from closing, salesmen Sid and Bob agree to let a vintage 1963 Pontiac LeMans sit on their lot for two days in return for $250,000. Warned that the vehicle has been associated with many deaths already, Sid and Bob are soon pursued by hitman Mr. Reich and FBI Agent Jared, among others. As violence surrounds them, Sid talks his partner into stealing the car for a $500,000 ransom.

Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Purgatory A firm proposition instills opposition with skeptical minds on the make.And the two with the few become one with the many with merciless souls on the take.Intriguing conviction in characters' diction had preset the pathway to yearn.Ladened with larynx and leaded with bullets as bodies end up in the urn.I have to admit I fell in love with the script at first sight.Dialogue Dueling with intellectual fueling had left me with pleasant delight.
byght It amazes me the impact that two movies ("Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction") can have. Quentin Tarantino has become by far the most imitated director of his generation on the strength of those two movies. "Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane" is one in a long, long string of Tarantino ripoffs, but it's certainly not a bad one (like "Two Days in the Valley," which made me want to puke). As the title suggests, it's high-energy, high-impact, and gritty. Actual, indie-film gritty, not Hollywood faux gritty. Still, the overwhelming unoriginality of the whole affair kind of bogs it down.Carnahan has since attained his own identity and gone on to vastly better things, though: "Narc" is perhaps the best cop movie I have ever seen.
serpentsky Check this one out if you like corny, campy action movies. I'm not ashamed to say that I do, and enjoyed it. The acting is wooden, but come on, the movie had a miniscule budget. The story is pretty good, and the dialogue is (unintentionally?) hilarious.
Marty-G I think this movie works pretty damn well for something shot in 13 days on 16mm film for $8000. It's raw and gritty, and fairly rough around the edges, but the plot is well-conceived, there's some fairly witty dialogue, and it rattles along at a fair old pace. For all its technical imperfections, it all comes together quite nicely.The only thing that bugged me was the scene with the two leading guys in the very red bar bathed in blue light coming up with their plan to upstage the criminals - the dialogue here was so reminiscent of David Mamet (especially Glengarry Glen Ross) it felt like a direct rip off.Other than that, this was a pleasant surprise on the whole, not 100% original, nor a masterpiece, it still makes for a pretty entertaining piece of filmmaking.
