  • Surprising

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By PLR (12 reviews) from Wakefield, West Yorkshire , 20 Apr 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Just when you think that this film has nothing to offer you suddenly realise that it's getting surprisingly good! Pheonix is wonderful as a rather unfortunate character who seems to attract bad luck from the word go... A well-chosen cast act out a plot full of twists and turns to a very satisfying conclusion... a film well worth watching.

    I really enjoyed this - Vince Vaughn is great & Joaquin Phoenix is also very good as the guy that things seem to happen to.

    Just a warning: this really entertaing movie is presented in 4:3 format with just a stereo sound track. So annoying especially since the trailer is given in 16:9 and the credits show that they had gone to the trouble of recording it with a THX sound track.

    Indeed there's a line in the movie where they are watching Alien on TV and comment that it is not well served by this format!

  • A lame duck

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By a customer from London , 19 Oct 2006
    This had all the markings of a dark, indie delight, and yet after a strong start the story jars with every ensuing turn.

    Charting the darkly comic events when a small town loser is confused for a serial killer, this never really gets going. It’s not funny enough, nor is it dark enough. It gets nowhere near the offbeat Coen brothers-esque tone it aims for, and for a small budget indie film has a criminally underwritten script.

    Boasting a glazed-eyed performance from Joaquin Phoenix and an over-played and embarrassing turn from Vince Vaughn, the only thing to write home about is the standout comic asides of Janeane Garafolo.

    I caught this movie half way through on TV one night and was thoroughly intrigued. I just had to rent it to get the whole story, and wasn't disappointed. This is the type of film that will be hit or miss, but I found it funny and compelling. There are some good performances and a great soundtrack. Don't expect a classic, but worth a go if you've seen all your top choices and are looking for something a bit different.
