Written by Andrew Klavan from Simon Brett novel. Michael Caine is wonderful as a failing husband and business executive who acquires a taste for murder in black comedy reminiscent of Kind Hearts and Coronets. With Swoozie Kurtz, Elizabeth McGovern, Peter Riegert, Will Patton (cop), John McMartin, Jenny Wright, plus way down the cast list, Samuel L Jackson as a street card dealer.
Did think the voiceover was entirely redundant, though wondered if it had been added afterwards.
When Caine does his American accent it really sounds like he's doing Dustin Hoffman.
Our Delta release though is not anamorphic and incredibly dark.
Gary Chang's slightly atonal music adds an interesting element.
