My first recommended movies list now has nearly 600 films in it waiting to be viewed. I'm slowly working my way through them but it's taking a while. It now runs pretty slowly so i've started this one so I can keep adding to it. Unfortunatly I can't watch movies as fast as people recommend them so they are piling up. Maybe one day i'll get round to watching them all.

You really can't go wrong with a William H. Macy film. When it comes to sweet indie films the guy really does pick from the best. And when you add Neve Campbell and Donald Sutherland into the mix, you're just asking for a film that will deliver on all levels. And this film does just that.
It's a crime drama of sorts, where we follow Macy's character Alex through some deep seated emotional problems. Alex was recruited as a hitman by his father, Sutherland, from what we are led to believe as a very young age. As a man approaching middle age he begins to question his career and other aspects of his home life. Deciding to see a psychiatrist, in the waiting room he unexpectedly meets Sarah, a girl he becomes infatuated with, played by Campbell. And we can't exactly blame him either. Fortunately for him, she too develops a strange and unexplainable attraction to him.
The film explores his strange relationship with Sarah, the conflicts he has with his father and the marital problems he has with his wife.
Henry Bromell wasn't a name I was familiar with, but writing and directing this film, I think he did a terrific job. He's not done many films, mainly television work and mostly credited as a producer. But after this, if he ever decides to turn his hand to movie making again, I'd certainly be willing to check it out and I do hope he does.
For some reason this film always manages to slip under the radar and I don't understand why. Macy once again proves himself to be a very talented actor who doesn't make films because of money or fame, but because he enjoys it. He could quite easily be in big budget blockbusters but he always tends to stick to quality and low budget. I admire him immensely for this as i'm sure there is quite a bit of temptation out there. (And we'll forgive him for Wild Hogs no matter how terrible it was).
Neve Campbell is also one of those actors that tend to do films like this one. After her fame with the Scream trilogy, she's quite happy to fall out of the public eye and come up with performances that she deserves more credit for.
Definatly one to check out. You should never pass up the opportunity to see any of the films these actors as involved with.
