Max Cherry, 57, has been in the trade for years but is growing tired of it, particularly because his business has been infiltrated by criminal elements.Pam Grier wasn’t landing any roles in the late 90s, and the same with Forster, but Tarantino revived their careers, much like this scam against gun runner Ordell Robbie (Samuel L.

Louis Gara, Ordell's longtime criminal associate works for Cherry and becomes involved in the gun running.

Tutto sommato, però, ho preferito la pellicola, forse perché per i film di Tarantino ho un debole, benché questo sia abbastanza convenzionale rispetto agli altri.
