A typical 'high concept' Hollywood idea that was developed and released as an indie film, meaning it arrived in the theaters without having every drop of life pressed out from the combined weight of risk-averse studio meddling, screenplay by committee and test audiences genetically engineered in underground Sony labs for maximum timidity.
It's a movie that would have been just another mainstream studio release in a just universe, but is seen as 'edgy' and 'difficult' in the current environment of corporate cowardice and artistic stagnation.
My take- it has a good script, good acting, good direction and a good plot. A solidly entertaining film. I laughed, I got to see Hope Davis's nekkid flank, I got to see Pierce Brosnan make a good film before he died...all in all, a fine night out at the movies.
