I really liked it. The whole MPD thing is kind of a cheat, I think, and it’s clearly not earned, but 1) I didn’t see it coming at all, and 2) the lead-up is really good. It’s not a very long movie, and I know I always say this, but it’s nice to see a director getting in and out in 90 minutes. It suggests that the material doesn’t need padding, and to my mind it’s usually a sign of quality. And I’m not a Cusack fan, particularly, but he was really attractive in this for some reason. Well brooded, Johnny. Plus, I just love Liotta. His hair is always terrible (and what’s up with that? Shave up the back, dude!), and he’s not the most nuanced guy, but the man shows up to work, I’ll tell you what. (9/16/05)
