Featured review
This, to say the least, was a very interesting movie.
Alec Baldwin (The Cooler, "30 Rock") plays a psychopath who pops into Miami and starts making a name before he can even get out of the airport.
Krishna Ravindra (Edward Saxon): My name's Ravindra. What's yours? Frederick J. Frenger Jr. (Baldwin): Trouble.
He hooks up with Jennifer Jason Leigh (Short Cuts, Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle), who was just perfect as the prostitute who ended up staying with him.
Susie Waggoner (Leigh): ...And you save your money... and buy a nice little house, with a white picket fence, and live happily ever after. Frederick J. Frenger Jr.: Tell you what. Let's go straight to the "happily ever after" part, OK?
With Fred Ward (Short Cuts) on his tail, Baldwin performs a series of crimes that were interesting in the fact that he stole from other criminals. No, he wasn't Robin Hood, as he didn't give to the poor.
There are a lot of laughs and Baldwin has the most chest hair I have ever seen!
