Bill Bob Thornton. Typical character actor. There aren't many mainstream films, but they all leave a lasting impression.
Rare film noir. With the cold atmosphere and interlocking plots, it is hard to imagine what this film about a lawyer partner who dreams of making a fortune on Christmas Eve and stealing the money of a gangster boss would have been released on Christmas. However, 'non-mainstream' audiences like Guo'er are excluded from the pursuit of the goddess Sarah Jessica Parker.
John Cusack's performance isn't terrific, but it's worth the cheap DVD price when he realizes that Connie Nielson's beautiful accomplice is actually a femme fatale.
Plus, Regent's D5 version is doing pretty well. The two Alternative Endings in the Bonus Feature are intriguing.
