It's Walken who's most impressive.

Goes soft in the end, but not ruinously so. Meanwhile, its loose cannons bounce off one another deliciously.

He (Walken) is a gifted classical actor...and here he understands Victor Kelly from the inside out.

It's a character study, nicely realized.

Not only are these characters beautifully underplayed, but they're underplayed by two of the most enthusiastic scene-stealers around: Walken & Lauper.

The plot isn't what makes this movie worth watching anyway -- it's the performances and the ambiance.

Skillfully made, yet the film would have been better if it had tapped a bit of that Walken madness.
