when I realized that the main character in this movie is the same man (William H. Macy) who provocate all the deaths in FARGO. I said "man, you are a real maniatic". the story has his own way to tell the story.also the camera takes are fantastic. the first take "going up the building" are awsome, very clever.I trully recommend this picture, not only because the story, is a great movie if you're a "Movie Classics Lover".

Macy is aces as always in this funny send-up of noirish films. Many funny references to other films, really a moviebuff's movie. Highly recommended. Kudos again to Turner Movies. They are a class act in television movies.

William H. Macy is terrific in this Alfred Hitchcock-esque film. Macy stars as a film critic who accidentally kills one of his girlfriends. The characters that ensue are hilarious. James Cromwell gives a terrific performance as a blackmailing private detective. As always, Macy is incredibly funny and gives a phenomenal performance. See this movie whenever it is on t.v. and check your video stores because this is one you don't want to miss.
