One Night at McCools (2001 Harald Zwart)

This is what happens when you want to see more of Liv Tyler (here in a variety of colourful outfits). In Stan Seidel's screenplay, she is irresistible to all the men she meets, beginning with Matt Dillon, then his cousin Paul Reiser, cop John Goodman and even hit man Michael Douglas who's supposed to bump her off (this fairly predictable). I quite liked the way that when different characters relate the same scenes there's a difference in the way they and others behave - a bit of Rashomon - in fact I was hoping for the film to end from Tyler's point of view and how she perceives all these characters and situations. But it's not that kind of film - more of a black comedy noir. Liked Reba McIntre as psychiatrist, plus Richard Jenkins. And Marc Shaiman's music. Overall, OK.
