Comments:
I
consider this film one of my top 10, mostly because
the characterization of Billy Zane's character may
be the best in any movie ever. This movies has almost
everything you want: Original Awesome Characterization
(especially with Zane's Character) Sufficiently well
written and acted. Maybe this movie isn't what the
mainstream wants, but it is still an excellent flick.
