One of the most excruciatingly awful movies I have ever seen. It is saved by the unbelievable overacting of David Suchet, and the same from the actress who plays his wife. Most of the characters are one-dimensional caricatures, a fact that adds to the exaggerated plot and, again, the scenery-clawing performances. Suchet deserves an Oscar for excessive excess.
Sad to see Mickey Roark in such a bad flick. As one other reviewer said, the crowbar scenes (which were many) were the high spots The middle-level drug dealer, who was stoned all the time and, I assume, didn't need to act at all, was so unbelievably bad, he was funny.
Actually, if you like B- noir and have nothing better to do, it's not the worst way to pass a little time. But, a good movie it ain't.

Too long, too taxing, too mysterious, much too self-conscious. If Charlie Kaufman is a great writer, please give me back Gene Kelly and Cyd Charise. Long quotes from Pauline Kael, of whom I've been a fan since her days on public radio in SF in the early '60s, really didn't add a f+++ing thing.
Charlie can jump his shark elsewhere; I've had enough
