One of my all time favorites.

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Good concept, poorly executed.

Extremely disappointing story, completely lacking originality and creative flair.Wasted cast, no development, too much reliance on coincidence, not funny, not interesting to look at... put you off yet? Story is the old hackneyed idea of a misplaced bag of money. Seen it done before? Probably. Each introduced character wants to get their hands on the stash of cash and we're given Jeremy Davies' character to cheer on, and others to jeer on.What follows lacks any freshness or interest, which is really disappointing. Probably what could've saved this, if anything, would be a dash of Coen perspective and dark humour. A sudden attempt at inventive editing in the last twenty minutes does little to pick up the pace (if you're still awake) and even a turn by Bill Pullman can't do much to save it. Rachel Leigh Cook is pretty, though...

Wow, there are some very mixed user reviews on this one. I liked it a lot. I think this is one of Rachel Leigh Cook's best performances. Michael Rapaport and Keith David are also very good as the cop and the sheriff. I really enjoyed the locations and the overall look of the film. The cinematography is great, very rich and colorful, yet it still evokes that desolate modern western feel better than any movie of its kind I've seen. I got drawn in by this feel and enjoyed the movie very much. It's too bad you others didn't enjoy it as well as I did. I would definitely recommend it, a 9 out of 10 on my scale.

`29 Palms' is such a bad movie...no, wait, it's so bad one can't even call it a movie, so, let me start again...'29 Palms' is such a bad abomination , disguised as a movie, that there are no words negative enough to describe it. Let's put it this way, I'm embarrassed to say I even watched it all the way through. It's so bad that my DVD player never worked right again after running it.

My cable station rented this film for $3.95, and considering that the cast was a bunch of well known and good actors, I thought I'd give it chance.I'm now writing the cable company and asking for a refund, and I might actually sue them for cruel and unusual punishment.This is without a doubt the worst film ever made with such a decent cast. The direction is horrible. The screenplay should have been destroyed before it was ever read by anyone. The editing blows. The production sets are embarrassing to watch. If you want to laugh at total ineptness and don't have to pay to watch this, you might want to get a few friends together, have a few drinks, and get ready to be astonished at how bad this film really is.
