I almost forgot how much I enjoyed this film after many years absence. A few people have compared this to a Tarantinoesque type of film, only no Denny's. What we got is a story of interconnecting characters, many in awesomely acted roles. You just have to start with Spader, who's at the top of his game, playing a heartless and intellectually insane hitman, Aiello, his partner, with a heart. Surviving a hit, Aiello crashes the panoramic mansion, of a innocetly cute carer (Headly), and her barking and condescendingly abusive carer (Naked's Cruttwell so much fun here). As not to ruin anymore of this admiringly original situation of film, we have blood, a great serve of laughs, and awesome characters. Keith Carradine, does us solid, is memorably worthy as a caring cop. Spader, Aiello, Mason, and especially Newbie Theron, the scene stealer, and of course Daniels, are great, but it's Theron, who steals the limelight. So smoking hot. The very young Asian masseur chick, I had a soft spot for. SO gorgeously CUTE. Get a drink, pizza, sit down. And be entertained every minute. Spader delivering that great tagline involving a minute, one of the best and original one's I heard. Very original and different film, warrants your 104 minutes of viewing. Amazing actress Louise Fletcher fooled me again, unrecogonized as wasn't grouchy Lawrence Tierney, in an appreciated cameo.
