Goofs:

Continuity: In the scene when MacPherson is getting a ride from the day worker, the truck is loaded with lumber, etc and the tailgate is open when he picks him up again after making a stop at the job site. Then after a cut the truck's tailgate is closed. Then after another cut when they get close to the address MacPherson is seeking, the tailgate is open again with the lumber sticking out.

Blues Over You

Seagalesque

This movie sucked. I mean... wow. I surely didn't expect a masterpiece. But the actual level of suckitude left me speechless and almost breathless, as if my body was trying to rescue itself into sweet unconsciousness. It reminded me, and heavily at that, of Steven Seagal. But not the Seagal of "Under Siege" or "On Deadly Ground", who we all came to love. No, I mean the Steven Seagal who brought us straight-to-video suckfests like "Black Dawn".

Val Kilmer, like Seagal, is just a blimp, floating through the foggy remains of a story, while it rains wooden puppets. Who of course are the other actors in my weird little analogy.

Every little thing in this movie is bad and sucks in ways where there are no more words to articulate a warning. So let me just say this: DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! Thank you for your attention.
