Title: Rises above the genre
Product review: Okayyy... So as we know, the movie stars Christopher Walken, who (given a serviceable script) can turn any B-film into something approaching high art. By having Gregory Widen (of "Highlander" fame) direct it, that possibility is removed instantly, but we're still left with a strangely addictive movie.It's got (as my co-worker put it) the Canadian Robert DeNiro--Elias Koteas, Viggo Mortenson (underused, but still great to see in action), and Eric Stoltz, all showing more than enough conviction to pull the film out of mediocrity.Never mind the low-budget; it's alternately campy and (don't laugh) thought-provoking, and of course, Chris Walken walks away with the film's best lines. It's worth owning just for his performance alone.
