Though his wealthy mother tries to protect him, Richter (Eric Stoltz) has found lots of trouble. He's in debt to menacing drug peddler Ronnie (James Spader), and he's having an affair with the dealer's wife, Vicky (Deborah Kara Unger). Armed with the knowledge that a local man has committed a deadly crime, Ronnie forces Richter to help in an extortion plot. But Richter's already dicey situation gets even more dangerous when Ronnie learns where his wife has been spending her evenings.

Ryan Gilbey Independent (UK) Dec 15, 2018
This nonsensical picture appears to have been directed by a coma victim and edited by an axe maniac. Go to Full Review
Matthew Sweet Independent on Sunday Dec 15, 2018
The plot is full of italicised twists and kooky set-pieces, but grossly over-plotted and overwritten. Go to Full Review
Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Dec 20, 2006
C-
This comedic crimer is a late-in-the-cycle Tarantino retread. Pyeton's script from Berkey's novel is deft, but Leslie Grief's awkward direction lacks modulation and visual style, and he doesn't even get decent performances from Stolz and Cameron Diaz. Go to Full Review
Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Jan 7, 2005
0.5/4
A messy mix of soap opera, film noir, black comedy, and social satire, none of which is done very well. Go to Full Review

A ham-handed and just plain dumb modern Midwest noir. Go to Full Review
