hal hartley have be liken to a modern day william shakespeare and by virtue of the fact that he get his actor to deliver their line in an iambic pentameter . he certainly know how to assemble a cast and once again martin donovan be sensational and whilst thomas jay ryan play his role with an intensity that be unforgettable . although the film be only 1 hour and the time frame work wonderfully and keep the audience on a fast tracked race right till the very end . without a doubt hal hartley be one of the best director to come out of america in the last 20 year and with a vision that be unique and funny and heart warming .
