Quotes:

Wallis P. Longsworth:Alright, twenty questions.
Buster Cummings:Alright.
Wallis P. Longsworth:Why does a happy healthy man in a normal course of events voluntarily abandon his car and leave the motor running?
Gene Reardon:He Doesn't. He gets out of the car for a number of reasons, voluntarily, but he doesn't voluntarily abandon his car with the motor running.
Buster Cummings:Or maybe he leaves the motor running to protect himself from the cold.
Wallis P. Longsworth:Why does he stop and get out of the car volunarily?
Gene Reardon:Maybe he likes the view, maybe he's got a car problem.
Buster Cummings:Maybe he has to take a leak.
Wallis P. Longsworth:What if the cars running fine?
Mike Pelton:Maybe someone else has the car problem.

Thought Former Pres. Bill Clinton was in this Film

While viewing this very interesting film, I thought that actor Rutger Hauer, (Gene Reardon),"Sin City",'05, looked just like President Bill Clinton at times through out the film. Getting back to the film, it starts out with a mail truck making deliveries, a car being stalled on a bridge and a person driving an old car into a garage. It is at this point in the picture when you should be able to determine who the killer is, but I bet you don't. Gene Reardon is a detective with a past that seems to haunt him and he meets up with his ex-wife, Paulina Ponizkova,(Wallis P. Longsworth),"Knots",'04, who is an FBI Agent and very attractive. Gene Reardon was married again and has a cute and smart thirteen year old who adds greatly to this murder mystery. It is rather slow and at times it seems as if the actors had trouble trying to remember their lines or the film was just plain slow and boring.
