Fun Movie News. #018:

Dallas 362: 83
[Fairly explodes off the screen, and that's before the most kinetic, astonishing opening-credits sequence since Se7en. Settles down thereafter into a freewheeling, raggedy, '70s-on-steroids groove, telling a familiar (maybe even trite) story with such confidence, exuberance and virtuosity that the occasional missteps (mostly in the last few minutes) hardly even register. In a just and righteous universe, Hatosy, Goldblum and Lynch would have a realistic shot at an Oscar-night hat trick. Camera forever precisely where it ought to be. Edited so deftly that every cut threatens to draw blood. Best source music you've heard in ages. In every way a superlative debut. Bite me, Sofia.] - Mike D'Angelo on the writing/directing debut from Scott Caan.
