A strange film that grabs your interest from the start, 28 May 2000
Although nothing exciting happens in this movie, the dialogue and characters draw you into it and won't let go. I watched this movie at 3.00am, dog tired, sleepy, yet couldn't get to bed because I couldn't stop watching. It will make you laugh at times, make you smile most of the way through, and it will touch you. Virtually all the scenes take place with a static camera, so a roving camera doesn't get in the way. Excellent acting, excellent dialogue. Don't let the video cover photo fool you. None of the characters appear this way in the movie. In a way, it disappoints me that such a photo is used for the cover. It cheapens the film somehow. For one thing, Keitel doesn't have a beard in the movie. For another, the young blonde (Ashley Judd)DOES NOT look at all like that in this movie! If you want a film that makes you listen to what the characters say and doesn't depend on violence or eye candy to make it interesting, then get this movie.
