Horrendous
12 October 2012
This film is painfully unfunny and runs like it's four hours. There is exactly one scene -- Woody Harrelson in the hospital room -- that has any cinematic value. Also, Tom Waits does a decent job. The planned silences after "laugh" lines were filled with ... silence. Drama, suspense, laughter, clever dialogue -- none of that here. Chris Walken appears to believe he's on SNL again, doing an imitation of Kevin Pollak's imitation of himself. Sam Rockwell has been great in other things, like the Chuck Barris vehicle, but here he has nothing to do but goof around and spout poorly written lines. The filmmaker's self-indulgence is staggering.
