Plots(1)
In this shop, these people may be pawning far more than they bargained for. Brendan Fraser, Elijah Wood, Vincent D’Onofrio, Matt Dillon, Norman Reedus, Thomas Jane, Lukas Haas, and Paul Walker, star in 3 twisted tales all connected by items from a Southern small-town pawn shop. A man searching for his kidnapped wife, a couple of white-supremacist drug dealers, and a sad-sack Elvis impersonator, plus more desperate characters come to life in this action-packed and hilarious movie.

The pleasure is a bit “guilty”, but a pleasure nonetheless. Three trashy stories from the American backwaters that would love to be like Pulp Fiction, but lack Tarantino’s precision. BTW, Elijah Wood is doing his best to change the tag of “cute hobbit” for “perverted psychopath”, and quite successfully.

The three stories linked via uninspiring junk from a pawn shop are all formidable. Personally, I like the second one about the lost wife. I liked how it turned out. And Matt Dillon just has the best wino voice ever. The junkie mayhem also has something to it and Paul Walker dominates it. Elvis is just a God-squad advertising stunt. Has some style, but maybe even pointless without the final link-up.
