I rented this movie last week, being a huge fan of Willem Dafoe and, to a lesser degree, Greg Kinnear. I thought I was prepared for this, but jeezus, what a skeevy movie! Gah! I needed to take a shower afterwards. It’s a hell of a performance by Kinnear and Dafoe, and the cinematography was amazing, especially the way the color washed out of the movie as the story got grittier and grittier. But this movie made me so very uncomfortable. I was glad I was watching alone. It would have been a really uncomfortable thing to sit through with someone else. Yeesh!
Yeah – definitely – but so damn well done. A memorable piece of work. I think it was one of the five best movies of 2002.
