Richard Propes' Review

C

A very savage comedy.

This "Dark Comedy" doesn't work quite as well as it should, especially considering the cast assembled. You have Christian Slater, who already has proven the ability to pull off this sort of film before.

You have Jeremy Piven, also an immensely talented actor. You also have Cameron Diaz, Jon Favreau and even Daniel Stern in this flick. It should have been so much better.

Still, it works on quite a few levels. The script, however, seems to get lost shortly after the killing starts. It sort of becomes a jumbled mess...by the end, it's hard to care about much of anything here. Generally, the cast is pretty solid and the film is pretty well paced.
