Flypaper Trailers

Greed, lust and fate bring together a motley collection of oddballs and lowlifes for some rather sticky situations in Hoch's twisted neo-noir debut. Three separate but interconnected stories, all set on a deceptively sunny day in California and centered around one million dollars in cash, inspire Hoch's quirky characters to commit acts both devious and depraved in an attempt to make the big score.

Reviews
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
garypen Heed the advice of those comparing it poorly to Pulp Fiction. It is clearly trying very hard to imitate the the style of that movie, as many filmmakers were attempting at that time. It fails miserably at it. In fact, it fails miserably at even matching the low quality of "Two Days In The Valley", another piece of cinematic crap which failed miserably at attempting to imitate Pulp Fiction. (OTOH, "Two Days" is far more disappointing than "Flypaper" due to its stellar cast.) If you enjoy movies like Pulp Fiction, or Get Shorty, or Fargo, or Snatch, then see THOSE movies. This movie is a total waste of time. Plus, to add insult to injury, the multiple story lines have no payoff. They end in the middle of nowhere like unfinished highways miles before they reach a destination.
TerriStorm I admit that my expectations of this film were not very high when my friend brought it to me to watch. I had the impression this was some sort of soft porn flick, and figured the plot would be banal at best!To my surprise, however, Flypaper is one of the most enjoyable films I've seen in quite a long time. Maybe because my expectations were so low, I found myself absorbed in the plot before I realized what was happening. Everyone did a fine job with their characters, and the little twists and turns kept my interest up all the way to the end.Warning: Possible spoilers!I admit, however, to being rather disappointed by the end. Especially with two rather unresolved circumstances. I wanted to know what happened to the couple making love in the swimming pool with the snakes. I wanted to know what became of Craig S character after they pulled the knife out! Okay, but I'm just being picky. I highly recommend this for anyone who's tired of the big budget, FX loaded box office fair!
BrashFink Started out interesting enough, but then the movie completely devolved into nothing.The entire Lucy Liu storyline was dumb. It was trying real hard to be Pulp Fiction (like a LOT of stuff around this time) but fails. If you stop to think about Pulp Fiction, every segment tied in together. This one started out with a simple storyline, simple plot, then tried to add other stuff, that doesn't have anything to do with the main plot (like the before mentioned Lucy Liu part). It goes off into its own story.Still, not awful and it was enjoyable. Worth a rent, I am glad I didn't pay $9 to see it (was this even in the theatre?).
Vito C. To be fair, no matter how bad a movie this is, it has a graphic sex scene with Lucy Liu. So it can't be all bad.
