Yes this is a trashy flick, but a GREAT ONE! I give this flick an 8 out of 10. You can't judge this film the same way you do a Kubrick film. It has limited goals; to entertain, to make you laugh, to hold you in suspense & yo titilate and it succeeds on all accounts. The dialogue is well written & the cast plays it totally straight. It is 1000 times more entertaining than the usual Jerry Bruckheimer schlockbuster
