This furiously snappy and in-your-face twisted barn burner tears across the screen like a vicious spray of machine gun fire for eight gloriously berserk and brutal minutes of pure celluloid adrenaline. Two mean, but dim-witted thugs take a hapless person to a remote stretch of arid desert road to off the poor fellow. However, things don't go too smoothly and the whole thing degenerates into a grisly bloodbath. Director Kiah Roache-Turner maintains a positively manic forward-ho rapid-fire pace throughout, stages the plentiful action with rip-roaring flair, and tops it all off with a hysterically sick line in often sidesplitting pitch black humor. The cast play the wonderfully warped material with tremendous go-for-it frenzied gusto, with Jay Gallagher a particular stand-out as a sadistic cackling loon. The grainy cinematography gives the picture an appropriately rough and gritty look while the shaky hand-held camera-work adds an extra invigorating blast of marvelously raw energy. A total delightfully bent and wicked riot.
