Despite cameos from Ray Liotta and Ransom Monroe, nothing gives this film the kick it needs. When the Sharon Stone character shoplifts the gloves, towels, guns, and diamonds, we are led to believe that she is the one abusing the... Full review

This would have to be the worst movie I have ever seen. I kept hanging on thinking that something would happen or something would make sense eventually or something would fall into place or something - anything - - but... Full review

Though marketed as a Sharon Stone thriller, this solemn chamber piece revolves around three men. One evening at work, Gary (Timothy Hutton in ever-present baseball cap) runs into night janitor Bill (Dylan Baker in over-sized spectacles). Gary and Travis (Pruitt... Full review

This movie is a complete waste of time. I have watched it and could not tell you what it was about. The cover of the movie is pure deception, it leads you to believe that it is a sit on... Full review

The original title of this bleak film - WHEN A MAN FALLS IN THE FOREST - was inexplicably shortened to the nebulous WHEN A MAN FALLS for the release of the DVD: had the original title been retained, the audience... Full review

There are basically 3 different stories that interconnect, actually two major stories and one minor one but in any case only one of them is actually done decently.The arc involving Bill the Shy guy isn't bad. He's a bit of... Full review

The movie that will make all others shine. American Pie becomes an epic artistic accomplishment in comparison. To its credit, somehow it does manage to out-bore watching paint dry, out depress tax return season, and generally is the only movie... Full review

the movie is blessed with a trio of terrifically gifted lead actors (Dylan Baker, Timothy Hutton, and Pruitt Taylor Vince) and a rally of stellar individual moments such....it nearly taints the entire film.....though the film never coalesces and sometimes actively irritates with cheap screenwriting tricks, it retains a certain appeal.....done in one poignant take, the scene is both heartbreaking and painfully real, a rebuke to the pervasive artificiality of the screenplay at large.....In an incredible scene ...

Austin Chronicle
Hutton proves an interesting truth-teller for the rest of the angst ridden, while Stone's mopiness tends to grate.
But this is really Baker's story and watching his nerd slowly break free of the cocoon makes it all worthwhile.
