5.0 out of 5 stars Just Loved It!, April 21, 2004

By	Toni (Murrieta, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This is probably one of the very best independent movies that I've had the pleasure to watch. The acting, directing, editing, script and cinematography were all excellent. What could have been a silly movie, turned out to be a real gem. Every cast member did their part, with standout performances by John Favreau, the always brilliant Sean Bean, and even Kelsey Grammar, of whom I'm not a huge fan.

When John Person (Favreau) is approached to simply deliver a blue suitcase to Cowboy (Bean) in of all places, Baker, California, the fun begins. Nothing is what it seems to the very last frame.

I highly recommend that you buy this movie. My only complaint is that it wasn't given a wider release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful Comedy/Mystery, May 5, 2004

By	leslies_library "leslies_library" (MI United States) - See all my reviews

Although primarily a mystery, I found this film to have a quirky, offbeat, intelligent type of humor. This is not a typical scifi flick, but a most enjoyable independent film.
