Viewing Notes
Add this flick to the “movies that time forgot” category. I say that because this is a movie that I’m fairly certain has never come up in any mention or discourse during my last ten plus years of film discussion (Twitter or otherwise). Odd for a mainstream title esp. with this cast. Of course I hadn’t thought of this movie either until I saw an advert for it in an old Maxim magazine from around the time it hit home video. I didn’t see this movie at that time or ever but the advert piqued my interest b/c of the cast… and realizing that I’ve never seen this movie mentioned. Ever.
So I got it from the library. It’s an interesting flick that plays like a comedic neo-noir done Rashomon style. Sort of a neat structure that doesn’t entirely work but is entertaining for the solid cast committing to the absurd comedy and the radiant Liv Tyler at the center as the femme fatale. In addition to the ensemble it was cool to see Sandy Martin pop up in a small cameo.
