Unique story of loss, guilt, redemption, and Biblical fortitude
26 February 2003
Jack Lucas (Jeff Bridges) is a shock jock talk show host whose antics drive a crazed listener to kill 7 people in an upscale restaurant. Some time later, Lucas is depressed and without any hope in life until his own is saved by an eccentric homeless man named Perry (Robin Williams). Perry is convinced that he is on a mission to obtain the Holy Grail and that everyone around him is part of some fairy tale. What Lucas discovers is that one of the lives lost in that restaurant was Perry's wife, and Perry was present at the time. Lucas is then determined to make the wrong things right.

It doesn't quite decide what it wants to be, at times it is comical and other times it is deadly serious, but the result is certainly engaging, and judging by the Camera work/hyper paced performances you could see how this would come from the same guy who directed `Brazil.'
