Written, directed, and starring ....steve buscemi. While it's sometimes a warning signal when the same person does all three roles, in this case, it's pretty good! Kind of "a week in the life of tommy", played by buscemi. Tommy spends all his time at the bar. He's a user, and a taker. And can't seem to hold a job. But his friends like him anyway, in spite of all his goof-ups. Carol kane (probably best known for taxi) is connie, the barkeep. Her hair is long and straightened out in this one... the first time i've ever seen it that way. Anthony lapaglia is rob, his former boss. Who married tom's ex. Not a lot of action in the film, but it's interesting to watch the world of tommy go by; it's kind of like a reality television show. Steve's son and brother are both in here, along with samuel jackson. Buscemi did this right around the same time as fargo. And check out the bio here for actor rockets redglare... that' s an interesting story. His buddy (mark boone) has made tons of films with buscemi. The film is pretty good... just a slice of life.
