XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

merklekranz Two used car lot owners, who we know nothing about, get involved with numerous shady characters, who we know nothing about, while being paid to watch a Pontiac convertible, which we know nothing about. Why would anyone be interested in a movie that explains nothing, and has zero character development? The obvious answer is you wouldn't. Throw in unending closeups of meaningless dialog, a "surprise" ending that is so ridiculous, it will leave you wondering if it didn't come from a different film, and other trivial nonsense that does nothing to explain this confused mess. Forget even considering seeing B.G.B. & O, instead seek out "Suckers", another low budget crime drama centering around a used car operation, that is absolutely brilliant. - MERK

mrclem A superb effort and entertaining action flick. The plot is logical though somewhat predictable (you just know they're going to get deeper and deeper over their heads). The dialog is intelligent, realistic fast and terse. The action hits fast and hard but is not gratuitous. The plot has some complexity to it, with different threads that tie together as the story unwinds. But they manage to do this with a short running time by having tight editing - no extraneous scenes. Hollywood should have movies with this kind of dialog, story and editing. The film quality is grainy, evidence of this flick's low budget. But the acting, dialog, story and action are all solid. Definitely worth seeing for those who like action flicks.

mattymatt4ever "Blood Guts Bullets and Octane" is the low-budget, quirky action flick that "El Mariachi" and "Run Lola Run" strived to be, but failed. This movie hits a bullseye! Now, I rented this movie on Netflix, prior to having any knowledge that Joe Carnahan directed it. I read a review for it from Roger Ebert and the movie sounded enticing. So I put it on my rental list. Then I watched an interview with Ray Liotta on Carson Daly's show, and Liotta mentioned that prior to directing "Narc," this was his only feature. I just watched "Narc" about two weeks ago, and I thought it was an absolutely terrific film, so when I found out the two films were from the same director, I couldn't wait to receive the DVD in the mail! The film met all my expectations! It's like a cross between Quentin Tarantino and David Mamet. The characters constantly spew out witty lines of dialogue, using cuss words as punctuation, and often repeat those same lines (pure Mamet). Carnahan really knows how to engage his audience. Sometimes I tend to complain about movies being too flashy. But in this film, all that flash didn't seem stilted. It seems to fit the film's quirky tone perfectly. The plot is mildly faulty, with an ending that is pretty ridiculous, but the fast-paced style of this movie got me so engaged that I was willing to play along. Carnahan obviously wasn't aiming straight towards realism. Nevertheless, the movie is highly original, and that you must give it credit for. The story centers on two used car salesman who belt out their pitches like characters out of "Glengarry Glen Ross." Yet they're honest salesman, as is established in one of the character's opening monologues. The salesmen are unlikely heroes, but they get themselves into all sorts of mess because of keeping a certain convertible they keep on their lot (just for show) in exchange for 250,000 dollars. I don't want to go further into the plot, because it's really a wild ride and I wouldn't dare to spoil it for anyone. Even the actors, most of whom never acted previous to this movie, are damn good. Carnahan himself is a fine, natural actor. Sometimes you see directors take a stab at acting, and you want to scream at them, "Get back behind the camera! That's where you belong!" Carnahan has a strong screen presence and delivers much intensity in his dialogue. The skinny black guy who plays the FBI agent isn't a terrific actor, and there are scenes where he appears to be discreetly looking down at the script, but I was even able to buy into his performance. His monotone seemed to work well with his character. I was almost as impressed with this film as I was with "Narc." Even with some good directors, I look back at their first features and I see no signs of future genius (i.e.: Wes Craven's "Last House on the Left"), but Carnahan certainly seems like he's going places. At least I hope he is. He received a lot of recognition for his recent film, "Narc," so hopefully it's all uphill from here. My score: 9 (out of 10)

rutt13-1 Garbage. Honestly I don't know if this had any redeeming features. Hmmmmm....I think it was a short movie, but I'm not sure. Somebody tried to give two talentless, unsympathetic gimps hip, trendy, Tarantino-esque dialogue, but failed miserably. The hitman is utterly ridiculous in every sense. The acting stinks, the characters stink, the script stinks. I guess I kinda like the title though...
