Some stylish touches and committed performances enliven this otherwise generic crime thriller.

Haley whips it into something reasonably entertaining even as you start thinking about how truly great "Get Shorty" and Travolta's Chili Palmer were midway through those double-crossing criminal activities.

It won't win any awards, but it's not a bad evening out.

I almost wish that the film would have centered on Travolta and Haley's characters since the plot threads involving the four friends get wrapped up in about half-a-dozen The Usual Suspects wannabe twists.

While it seemingly draws on the likes Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and True Romance, there's still something alluring and awfully inviting about Jackie Earle Haley's lively and intriguing directorial debut, Criminal Activities.

"Criminal Activities" is a sneaky, snaky little crime thriller with some pretty impressive plot twists.

If you don't expect much in terms of originality, there are some good times to be had here.

An eleventh hour twist adds a bit of intrigue, and everyone - including Haley himself, as a henchman - seems to be having a pretty good time.

All sound and fury, signifying nothing -- just clichés begetting clichés.

It owes as much to Quentin Tarantino as the four bunglers owe to Eddie. Yet it doesn't feel like a mere imitation; it has too much wit and too many striking performances for that.
