I totally agree with the critic James Berardinelli, especially when he says in the conclusion: "The absence of viable characters limits any dramatic impact, making this more of a laid back, lightly entertaining experience than a fully immersive one." This more or less sums it up.

Otherwise a very good depiction of "inside America", its contradictions and the simplicity of it's people (the police interview with the two hookers is memorable). A good film, excellent story (reality always beats fiction, it is amazing what can happen in real life), but the simplistic, one-sided characters depicted diminish the overall effect of the picture.
