Delusion is successful not for the plot or storyline; nor for the dialogue in the film, but for the interesting development of the three main characters. One is a businessman who is embezzling money to make an investment in Reno, a second is a quirky young woman who is sexually attractive, and the third is the young woman's Pitt/DeCaprio lookalike, who is supposedly a professional hitman (I think not). Depending on the goodwill of a passerby is not exactly the best plan for a hit. The film is very entertaining, and a lot of fun, but much of it makes very little sense. This is supposed to be why the film is interesting; because it makes little sense. It has a bit of Tarrantino element, and there is a bit of a satisfaction at the end, but the plot has more holes than Death Valley. First of all, there really is no protagonist to root for. All three of the major characters are lowlifes and relatively despicable. However, one is a corporate lowlife, while the other two are just your normal run of the mill white trash lowlifes. Of all three, the young woman is about the only one that has any type of moral structure; however loose it may be. The corporate character is relatively uninteresting and boring, and the hit man is way over the top. So what you have is pretty much a mess that is like watching a 20 car pileup. You can't take your eyes off of it, but it is really just a big mess. But it is fun to watch.
