- Great Independent Movie
Great movie, don't know why most people missed this.Starts strange, but one of those movies where when you get to the end, you really like the whole experience.Amazon shipped quicker than they said.Great job Amazon.

"Beware, I am the jewel and around me there is lead, pallid, ignominious lead!"
A friend of mine reminded me of this movie recently via e-mail, so I stuck in an old copy and gave it another viewing.I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed it.I enjoyed it so much I decided to write a review to remind myself how much I enjoyed it in case I ever forgot again.

- Good Movie - OK DVD
I enjoyed this movie and I would recommend it. Forrester carries this movie, if you liked him in Jackie Brown, then you will like him in this.
On the downside, I was not entirely happy with the DVD. The Anamorphic disc is a bit misleading, as you actually see more on the 4:3 setting of your DVD Player. If you have a 16:9 TV as I do, it ends up clipping off the top and bottom of the picture, including some of the captions (aka "Week 1" etc). In some scenes you can tell the tops of peoples heads are ... Read More
