A Walking Paradox...

A husband and father, who runs a mail order business out of his home, seeks professional psychiatric help because of the stress brought on by his other part time job... as a contract killer. William H. Macy is the tormented average man with the not-so-average occupation, Donald Sutherland plays his father who gets him jobs, Tracy Ullman plays the wife who is unaware of the 'other life', Neve Campbell is the sexy young thing that awakens his taste for life, & John Ritter is the Shrink. All of them combine for a group dynamic that is destined to erupt.

This film sneaks up on you and before you know it you have watched a film that hits Suburban disillusionment almost as hard as American Beauty did. William H. Macy is one of the most consistently excellent and subtly powerful actors of the past decade... he is at his best here in a role that could have been very tricky.
