Goofs:

Continuity: When Nolan talks to the couple (Mr. and Mrs. Lark) about the insurance in his office, the cup in front of Mr. Lark changes positions several times between shots. It's in his right hand, then next to his right arm, then in his right hand again.

Quotes:

John C. Nolan: I think you should go home and make love to your wife and pray nothing bad happens and ask yourself every day, "If it were to end right here, right now, would it be enough?"

Excellent, unusual, and offbeat

Jeff Goldblum has such an excellent command of his emotions. His expressions could almost convey the story without words.

This film is in no way humdrum; it's a refreshing departure from today's million dollar extravaganzas of all glitz and no substance.
