01/06/2020 Huge improvement over Leonardo Ricagni's terrible mainstream film debut, Johnny Suede. Michael Rappaport and Bill Pullman's offbeat characters make the film's whacked-out plot about a bag of money from a hitman's botched-job passing between many different characters. It tries to be like superior crime thrillers of the time by Guy Ritchie, QT and others. See more 08/03/2016 Excellent writing and acting. It's very different from most of Hollywood movies. I'm stunned why it doesn't have good rating here. See more 12/29/2012 Probably my favourite movie of all time. Hard to believe everyone sees it as stupid, gimmicky and shallow. When I see this I get transported into the world of the movie and by turns feel partly eerie suspense, sympathetic nostalgia and humour at subtextual dialogue. A great movie that I like to re-watch once or twice a year. See more 10/13/2012 Am I the only one that actually enjoyed this movie, simple plot, not original, but very well executed, ehem.... See more 05/31/2012 A poorly made film. This plays like a bad copy of an even worse Tarrantino film. See more 12/18/2009 Despite a horrible career for Chris O'Donnell, 29 Palms was simply one of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in a long time. His performance along with a superb supporting cast consisting of Keith David (They Live, Marked for Death) Michael Rapaport (True Romance, Higher Learning) and Michael Lerner(For Richer For Poorer, Newsies) were perfect for this film.
