Negative Positive
Title: Overrated
Review: This film is interesting but ultimately adds up to nothing. There's nothing "intellectual" or sophisticated about it; it's just a basic murder mystery without much mystery trying to blend elements of dark comedy without much humor. Despite some good performances (especially William H. Macy), the dialogue is downright moronic at times and the plot has no real suspense. There might have been some suspense built around about whether the wife will survive, but the filmmakers chose to almost completely ignore it, making her death a side-note in a conversation later in the film. Poor sense of drama. The filmmakers seem to be playing the joke on us. I wasn't laughing.
