Much style little substance

Terrific cast, Spader & Daniels are 2 of my favorite actors, great-looking flick, who wouldn't want to live in that house or squire Hatcher &/or Therize? But the direction is off-broadway stagey & the story is so loosey-goosey that the plot holes are big enough to fly the space shuttle through & lose it.

Entertaining but not a great movie. I don't regret buying it, but you might.

on the knife edge of realism and comedy
Added 3/9/2008
This is one of the films that you either get or don't. In my view, it is extremely successful in creating an atmosphere all its own, much like magical realism but about gangsters and difficult, outrageously ambitious, but frustrated people. The plot is a contract killing that leads to, shall we say, unforeseen complications that cause a number of lives to intersect and change. What is so funny and moving about the film is that you can believe it, at least while you are watching it.
Then there is the acting, which is uniformly excellent. Of course, there is the introduction of Charlize Theron, whose talent is evident from the beginning; her murderous fist fight with Hatcher is classic. But the emotional center of the film is Aiello, who is a failed hit-man-turned-pizza chef, trying to get back in the money. All of the characters change during the film, making new connections, seeing their lives differently, finally going for it. This is truly masterful and it is a pity it does not have a wider audience.
Warmly recommended.
