Mostly a Tarantino riff by Carnahan, but that’s OK, everybody has to start somewhere.  The characters were entertaining enough, and the story was somewhat original, but still, it isn’t much more than a curiosity for people like me who’ve become fans of the director (A-TEAM notwithstanding).

I actually started this a few days ago but just finished it today; and I wasn’t in a hurry. A dark comedy that doesn’t have much in the way of comedy, WRISTCUTTERS feels like it’s about 10 years late. Still, Tom Waits.
