Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the best films I've seen which I've never been able to turn other people on to. It doesn't seem to exist as a video or DVD rental. I think that's a travesty. It is definitely a sleeper but, unlike the other commenter, I don't see it as being anything like Pulp Fiction.. In fact, one of the reasons I like this film so much is that it deals with extraordinary things which happen to, and because of, ordinary people bumping up against circumstance and a serial killer. Somehow serendipity threads through everything in a way which I really liked. I'm a big Robert Forester fan and especially love the films he has made in the past 15 years or so. He plays the kind of person I like to meet in real life and that's pretty rare. One other thing I love about this film is the cinematography, especially fun being the first 15 or twenty minutes of the film. No spoilers! Just watch it if you get a chance. I keep hoping it'll come back on cable so I can see it another time.
