Paydirt

Christian Sesma's derivative crime drama offers modest diversion for undemanding genre aficionados.

Forces one to assume the writer/director sat down one morning to write his own Guy Ritchie-meets-Oceans caper, told himself, "hey, this is a breeze!" and got up before lunchtime having finished a script few other people would recognize as a movie at all.

Kilmer's one-dimensional presence is essentially an extended cameo, while the plot's myriad twists and turns are handled in a slipshod manner that confuses more than compels.

A lightweight and forgettable film about double-crossing deals in the desert, from Christian Sesma.
