Strange, strange, strange..., 22 January 2001
7/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

Truly bizarre mix of elements: character study, romance, crime melodrama, and action flick. Terrifically filmed on vivid Los Angeles locales by a French director and crew, story follows foreign hit-man on assignment in L.A. being tracked down and targeted for death. Some of the characters here are delicious: Jean-Louis Trintigant is super-cool as the French gunman, Ann-Margret sad and desperate as an old flame, Georgia Engel wonderful as an innocent housewife who somehow manages to get involved (her comments to the press are priceless). This is an exceptionally subtle thriller, less frenetic than most American pictures in the crime genre, with emphasis on character detail and emotion. Unusual and worth-watching. Often shown on cable as "The Outside Man". *** from ****
