Film Review: 2 Days in the Valley (dir. J. Herzfeld, 1996)

This movie has been on my list for a long, long time--basically from when it was first released as a Pulp Fiction knock-off. At least, that's how the movie was marketed and reviewed. But the plot, which is far more convoluted than an actual Tarantino movie's, more closely resembles that of an Elmore Leonard novel. The big problem here is that the movie is too crowded, too jam-packed with oddball characters and actions, to really hold one's interest. Indeed, the plot is much too complicated for me to describe.

Overall, I wasn't crazy about the movie as a whole. It seemed really dated to me--like a Pulp Fiction knock-off would seem ten years later . . . .
