Classic Post Natural Born Killers Stone. With a hint of Tarantino this twisted thriller has a host of weird characters. A young Joaquin Phoenix plays TNT a spurned lover that is unforgettable. Billy Bob Thornton plays a hill billy mechanic from Superior, Arizona and he alone makes the movie worth it. Penn is back to a bitchy character that he so often portrays to a tee. Good flick.
