good performance by jackson - tbird
the part of the movie i liked was the little moments when sam jackson was showing an unexpected vunerability. i think it made the character more real. it was a good touch.as far as the butt scene, i am not sure if he used a body double.hmmmm. doesn't matter. the other actors were lacking.there was something missing thoughout the film. i am not sure if i can put my finger on it.it just didn't seem real enough.the sinister artist thing has been done before.Sam Jack at his best! - Benson
What an original film. A homeless man is on a quest to solve a murder and at the same time try and keep his sanity. When he loses control, it is represented on screen by physically large moth seraphs flying around and causing havoc in his head. A very cool representation. He feels that he is being harassed and mocked constantly by the mysterious Stiverson, who lives atop the chrysler building in new york. Is Stiverson real or is the homeless man imagining it all?.
