This is a movie I saw many years ago, probably when it was first released on DVD, and if memory serves, I didn't like it all that much. Watching it again all these years later, and perhaps getting older helped me appreciate the dark (pitch black really) comedic elements. Found myself laughing so muc ... h. Christian Slater has never been better playing such a psychopath. Really good first film from Peter Berg. **3.75/5**
