| VarietyDerek ElleyDiaz is largely performing in a vacuum: Keitel, unbelievable for starters as a middle-aged judge, seems unsure at which pitch to play the largely physical comedy, and Sheffer, as the best friend, is fairly vanilla. |
| User ReviewFascade Freally good, funny and kind of strange... =] |
| User ReviewCrystal KWhen you watch this all your troubles seem to be so small. Great Harvey Keitel. |
| User Reviewdave pSaw this in a hotel room had no idea what the name was until after it was over.. great movie |
| User ReviewPrivate UThis movie is great. It is funny, dramatic and everything in between. Who doesn't love a drunk, dancing Billy Zane?! |
| User ReviewMark SBEST MOVIE EVER No seriously, this movie has everything. Throughout it, there's suspense, dark comedy, and quite a few unexpected twists. |
| User ReviewPeter SThis movie is unknown to many which is a shame! It is a perfectly executed 'little movie' that impresses with the blackest humor! Zane once again (as he did in Dead Calm) plays the clever psycho among few (4 instead of 3 characters in this one!). He doesn't remain the only one though...Watch It! |
