this be the bad movie i saw at worldfest and it also receive the least amount of applause afterwards . i can only think it be receive such recognition base on the amount of known actor in the film . it great to see j. beals but she only in the movie for a few minute . m. parker be a much good actress than the part allow for . the rest of the acting be hard to judge because the movie be so ridiculous and predictable . the main character be totally unsympathetic and therefore a bore to watch . there be no real emotional depth to the story . a movie revolve about an actor who can not get work doesn not feel very original to me . nor do the development of the cop . it feel like one of many straight to video movie i saw back in the 90 . and not even a good one in those standard .
