Powers Boothe does a neat turn as the always drunk sheriff. Jon Voight is unrecognizable as the blind Indian street beggar, dispensing a crazy wisdom. On top of that, he’s robbed of all his money and the crooked car mechanic (Billy Bob Thornton) won’t give him his car until he pays the bill. Bobby has just as much trouble convincing the insanely jealous boyfriend - the dude has “TNT” shaved out of his hair - that his girl is a nitwit and that he has no designs on her. He’s stalked around town by brain-dead teen-ager Jenny (Claire Danes), who can’t be convinced he’s not interested in her and that he can’t help her elude her bullying boyfriend Toby N. The film’s big joke is that loser Bobby spends the entire film trying to get out of this hellhole, while every contact with the locals is more unbearable than being with the Russian mob.

Stone fills the screen with vultures, wild dogs, and many violently ominous symbols that do not really connect with the story yet they do give the movie an hallucinogenic feel or, as some might say in unkinder terms–a pretentious arty look. “Killers” travels in Red Rock West territory, but the film never seems to get serious with the genre and throws away opportunities to be edgy by instead shooting for the bizarre in character and scenery.
When Grace gets wind of this deal, she tries to make Bobby a better offer to kill her hubby. Jake seems to think that Bobby is scummy enough to be his man to kill his wife and makes him a business proposal in that direction. She’s the town slut whose rich businessman hubby Jake (Nick Nolte) is a cruel and despicable person, just about like everyone else in town.
Not wasting any time while he waits for his car to be repaired, he either seduces or is seduced by the sexy femme fatale Grace (Jennifer Lopez). Unfortunately Bobby’s Mustang breaks down in this dumpy little dusty town ironically called, Superior, Arizona.

He is also reaching for laughs, but mainly this is a bad trip flick that feels like it could be an MTV vehicle geared for those with short attention spans.īobby Cooper (Sean Penn) is a drifter on his way to Las Vegas to deliver to the Russian mob a satchel full of loan shark money to pay back his gambling debt, having learned his lesson the hard way by losing two fingers to the mob for his previous unpaid debts. Stone experiments with style instead of being provocative or exploring ideas, using a frenetically fast-pace and the catchy photographic techniques of rapid editing he tried unsuccessfully with Natural Born Killers. It’s a small film, with small ideas–trying to outwit a Jim Thompson noir story by going the extra mile in absurd dialogue.
