Its boring and devoid of very few redeeming features. Jon Polito, Michael Badalucco and the always great Roger Deakins in the photography dep., who could make a public toilet look great, are the highlights in this sombre melodrama.
Its not funny which is again unusual. The only laugh coming when Jon Polito's character deliberately puts on his wig to talk business but that's it for the whole 2 hours!
Its not clever or engaging and neither are any of the characters likable. The plot is a mess too with the tonal shifts heaving from the bizarre to the ridiculous.
I did enjoy this more the first time i seen it a number of years ago so perhaps its my more cynical jaded eye or perhaps its just not very good.
