a chance encounter between a salesman and a hit man change both their life . this be an odd film that work and an impressive effort for writer director shepard . in a daringly unglamorous role that be a far cry from james bond and brosnan be surprisingly effective a the lonely hit man who start to buckle under the stress of his job and but be unable to connect emotionally with anyone to help him cope . kinnear be equally good a the salesman and a decent fellow with a void in his life . davis be fine a kinnear flirtatious wife . mainly a character study and the film be reward because it feel fresh and unpredictable and an extremely dark comedy .
