    Steve Buscemi is always good but Seymour Cassel really steals the show in Alexandre Rockwell's cult comedy!
  • September 7, 2009
    Stanley Tucci is hilarious but is only around for a few minutes; Seymour Cassel is the life of the party most of the time -- but the whole dynamic between a lost shy type and an eccentric life-lover has been done to death. Still there is authentic humor scattered throughout.

    As a Buscemi fan since 1991 this has always been one of my favorites. A true indie and is absolutely hysterical. If you like Buscemi and real indies this is for you. Plus doesn't hurt that Seymour Cassell is fabulous here also. Great film.

    Bizarre film, never really got my head round it, maybe the lack of colour confussed me.

    Jennifer Beals should be in the starring column! She's one of the main characters!
