Title: Subtle sleeper plays with your psyche and heart
Product review: I rented this movie because I had a free rental at Blockbuster and the cover shot is, well, Euro-sexy. I noticed the solid actors [Savage, Kinski, et al] and thought, why not? The directing is low key and masterful. I am reminded of Fargo and other noir American films... but the sense of redemption and hope is a saving grace - for me to sleep. Too bad this film didn't get the kind of the support that American Beauty got. The themes of incest and violence probably scared some studio execs. Savage has been unfortunately typecast but he is a terrific foil for Ryan P and the cast really does magic - they bring characters to life out of thin air...
