If you enjoy a film noir kind of feel in movies you will enjoy this movie. This is not an action film and has no humor. It does have a soundtrack featuring obscure covers of famous songs. Check out the reggae version of a Pink Floyd song from Dark Side of the Moon (I can't remember the title.) John Goodman's performance stands out. With everyone else you feel like you're watching them on the screen. With him, you feel like he's in the room with you. This is definitely a suspend your disbelief kind of movie. It's hard to imagine the series of evens that happen in this movie really taking place. Not a date movie, not a feel-good movie, not a classic. But worth $1.50 at Red Box.
