Well another indie director goes Hollywood. Neil LaBute after "In the Company of Men" and "Your Friends and Neighbors", turns out a pretty good commercial comedy drama. On those terms, it's good--but when you compare it to his earlier films, it's really depressing. "In the Company.." and "Your Friends..." were depressing but fascinating films about men and women and their interactions. This movie has no character development, tries too hard to be cute and quirky and (worst of all) has two hit men--one philisophical and one a violent, profane lunatic. Gee, that's original! The thing that makes the movie bearable is all the acting is good and some of the lines are hilarious. So, if you go in expecting a typical Hollywood film, you won't be disappointed.
