The debut project from co-star Michael Douglas' production company Further Films, this comic crime caper uses the narrative devices of multiple points of view and flashbacks, à la Rashomon (1951) and that classic film's many imitators.

Critic Reviews

  • Dennis Lim, Village Voice

    Oblivious to its own towering obsolescence.

  • Wesley Morris, San Francisco Chronicle

    Feels like a needless, thankless, charmless shout-out to the '80s rock video.

  • Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

  • Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

    There isn't much to McCool's that couldn't be found in an adult magazine.

  • John Anderson, Newsday

    Straining for a sense that a good time was had by all.

  • Anthony L


    A bit of fun but not great.

  • Derek D


    Despite the pretty good cast and acting, this movie about a love-and-murder story told from different points-of-view is only average at best. I expected more and was seriously disappointed.

  • Candy R


    A dark version of There's Something ABout Mary, where all the guys fancy the same girl. Except Liv uses this to her advantage to get what see wants. Good cast.

  • xGary X


    Liv Tyler doing her best Jessica Rabbit impersonation stars as a vampy femme fatale who beguiles every man she meets by spontaneously turning into a photo shoot from FHM magazine, and wackiness ensues. A promising cast fail to save what is essentially a film noir spoof that… More
