Critic Reviews

  • Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    There's nothing like the macabre to bring intrigue to an ordinary life, and nothing like the logistics of body disposal to challenge an insurance salesman.

Featured Audience Ratings

    Harmlessly enjoyable and filled with amusing twists and turns, but is pummeled by an twist ending that is way too complex and clever for its own good.
