An average movie

I wasn't sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a nice cast, I thought I should check it out. Basically, it is a mix of neo-noir and hyperlink (you know, when you have multiple characters with separate story-lines which usually come together at the end). To be honest, I'm getting a little bit tired of those movies with a rather short running time (this one was just about 90 minutes) with way too many characters and sub-plots. I mean, I have seen many of those lately and those are just frustrating and they are starting to seriously get on my nerves. In this case, most of the characters were actually interesting but you barely spend enough time with any of them to get really acquainted or even care about them. Still, there was indeed a massive cast (Danny Aiello, Jeff Daniels, Teri Hatcher, Paul Mazursky, James Spader, Eric Stoltz, Charlize Theron, Keith Carradine, Louise Fletcher). It was above all really nice to see Charlize Theron in her acting debut. Indeed, not only she looked really stunning (she still does almost 20 years later) but she gave a decent performance, even though her character was rather underwritten just like all the characters in this convoluted story. To conclude, even though the whole thing didn't really work, there was some interesting stuff in here and I still think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
