first of all and i love kinda movie like this one and i consider myself lucky of have watch it last weekend in my former girlfriend flat because she have always be a b movie freak and so . the last word be for me a deep story about crank and a worn femme fatale and the dummy of hollywood . the resentful and witty character of doc and a close friend of the main character that timothy hutton hide more than show and stand out in a so powerful way that at the end and you realize that you be take in about him . the girl be beautiful and confused michelle burke act sensitive and finally splendid compound her sara or caprice character . althought hutton triumph in his mission reveal the ambiguous talented guy and corrupt gleefully by hollywood and joe pantoliano incredible actor offer a new dimension stick behind hutton every time he appear in scene and steal the whole film . he be the ultimate anti hero and villain and slave of his own contradiction and master in dupe business and put up with his proper suffering and reject by the woman of his partner ( probably sara be also the woman of his dream ) in this game of personality mirror which deserve a warm and cautious approaching as well a passionate comprehension .
