(SPOILERS GALORE) To the other commenters: How jaded do you have to BE to not be moved by the end of this movie, where Clancey Brown pours the bullets into Lou Diamond Phillips hands?!? I also found it convincing ... perhaps because I've known more than my share of damaged people, I believed that that sequence of events would lead an jerk like Phillip's char to have his terminally ill father killed, just to sell his book. I think it *is* possible that Brown's char could be driven to a murderous rage at one time (by the ubiquitous over-bearing mother), but not be a killer, really, once her influence is removed. I love the fact that the plot is so convoluted that you have NO idea where it's going; I've see probably a billion movies, and can predict the outcome in most of them in the first 15 minutes. I appreciate a writer who can be original, and keep me on my toes. Rent it - judge for your self!
