cool but quirky Most of the IMDB reviewers liked this movie, and I did too, it was a good suspense yarn. But potential viewers should be aware that the whole mood of this flick is quirky, and if you like your actors straight up, this will have you shaking your head like it did my wife. Other similar characters that come to mind are the house-boy in The Birdcage, and the lead lady in Natural Born Killers, oh what's her name? All the gang members are quirky, and both cops are quirky.
Gang member Carla Gugino is very hot, but she drifts in and out of moods, sometimes not even hearing what others are saying, fretting, and being excentric. Even her sex scenes are quirky. And the gang's heavy is a huge quirk, including how they find him and how they interview him.
Alan Rickman as a cop is a good quirk, he doesn't want this case because he can smell something wrong, and spends as much time trying to get out of it as solving it, bumbling around like Columbo. Emma Thompson is good as his partner, full of cracks and good fun.
But the plot is good, some good twists, other good supporting actors like Hal Holbrook, and if you don't mind some strange people. I got a kick out of them. -Bob
