A true gem of a film with powerful yet nuanced performances which serve to tell a poignant story of life through the prism of one small store in a mall so generic it could be anywhere. This is one of those rare movies which provide a different experience to different viewers depending upon what they permit themselves to take from it. Some can watch it simply for the entertainment of watching two masters elevate their craft. Others will delve into the many subplots of the underlying morality tale and see a bit of themselves on screen. Sadly, there will always be those vociferous few who won't or can't see past the simple sets to appreciate the true masterpiece underneath.
John Larroquette and John Rhys-Davies each deliver some of their best performances in recent memory. The rest of the cast should be applauded for raising their talents to meet the challenging level of artistry and wit the two stars effortlessly show here.
Solidly written the story flows smoothly through several well structured plot twists. Not everything is as it seems, nor are people for that matter, and life is certainly never more than a mystery of what comes next formulated from the decisions of our past.
