it a shame and really and that the script of this film have more hole than you could shake a stick at ( mixed metaphor intentional ) and because kinski and coyote both supremely talented performer who be capable of great subtlety and nuance have wonderful chemistry together and and the always provocative fairuza balk do not hurt the mix either . jeremy piven would have be great here too and if his character ( and all the other support character ) hadn not be write a a plot device . a for the main proceeding and the writer just do not know how to create the suitable guilty or innocent tension for kinski character instead they give u confusion and contradiction and and by the finale and downright let hope the viewer do not notice claptrap .
