Surprisingly decent...
17 May 1999 | by (Novato, CA) – See all my reviews

I went in expecting nothing, and was very pleasantly surprised. Matthew Lillard's performance is quirky and very entertaining, but the single reason to see the film is for an early scene which can only be described as spoofing _The Deer Hunter_ with a popular college drinking game. This is a "thriller", but I was laughing for five minutes straight.
