4 stars out of 5 -- Cox's homage to the spaghetti western and the Marquis de Sade, is still a brilliant achievement...

[With] a wildly eclectic cast including everybody from Kathy Burke to Dennis Hopper and Jim Jarmusch.

[A] wacko slapstick pantomime....[With a] starry cast of musicians, including Elvis Costello, Joe Strummer and The Pogues.

Rating: 1.5/4 -- Straight to Hell is simply a record of aimless behavior, of a crowd of pals asked to dress up like cowboys and mill about on a movie set. Full Review

It's a very weird vibe, and it requires one to not only accept, but also embrace, boredom. If the movie has one theory, it's this: if you stare long enough at a certain spot, something weird and cool is bound to happen. Full Review

Product Description:

This comedy/western/musical is perhaps the strangest film by cult writer-director Alex Cox. After a botched robbery, a band of thieves heads for the desert to take shelter, only to find that the wilderness hamlet into which they've stumbled is run by a murderous, incestuous clan of coffee addicts who are struggling for control against a small band of misfits and a greedy land developer. It all makes for weird, weird stuff, highlighted by a spontaneous song-and-dance production number and cameos from such punk luminaries as Elvis Costello (as a coffee-dispensing butler) and the Pogues (as three brain-dead caballeros).
