Critics consensus

“Despite its intriguing premise, this earnest anti-gun polemic is too melodramatic to resonate.”

Full of grating hysterics and solemn symbolism.

RTSan Francisco ChronicleApr 21, 2006

It's a bit like watching a weaker version of Crash, with fewer coincidences.

RTDenver PostApr 7, 2006

The guns seem to have been shoved in various characters' pockets as afterthought, and Avelino's interlocking stories never click.

A fitting send off to one of America's best actors who dominates the screen.
