Very dark mystery-drama at a time (IIRC) Jim Carrey moved to doing more drama based movies. I had seen this one before probably back in 2007 but don't remember a whole lot. It's an okay film and Carrey for his part was fine, however Virginia Madsen was smoking hot. The movie did at least keep my attention until the end but not sure I'd revisit again. **3.0/5**
