This is something of a black comedy ie. some comedy and some serious bits; and some nasty/violent things made funny. A few clever scenes; some good suspense.
Sound like anything else? Yup, it's LBT (Low-Budget Tarantino). The dialogue isn't as clever or fresh; but neither is it as pompous and pretentious as QT's work.
And it doesn't make believe that it's anything creative and new and different. Just a dumb (unable to speak) 10-year-old girl being pursued by a hired killer.
Hurt has developed a style of mumbling and swallowing his words - bored with the movies he's offered? Jennifer Tilly is just ordinary. Leary is OK but he's not in it for long.
It's just something OK to watch late at night.
