I rented this movie because I'm all about independent films *and* bad films. But this one was beyond bad. The only horrors were the lack of plot, coherence, the lighting, the editing and the impossibly terrible sound.

I even attempted watching some of it with commentary to see if I could figure out what I was missing... If maybe there was something redeeming about this film but, sadly, the commentary was just as inane as the rest of it.

While in the liner it was called a grindhouse film in the tradition of the Toxic Avenger do not be fooled by it.

This film seems to be not much more than a vehicle for Robin Williams to act up a storm, and that he does well. The plot has so many holes in it I find it amazing that it got any good reviews.

One example: "Sy" finds the pictures of the cheating husband, with his girlfriend. These look like candid shots of the both of them frolicking, kissing (or rather, about to kiss), hugging, etc. Who took these candid shots? Did they stop a stranger in the street? "Excuse me sir, could you take a picture of us just as we are about to kiss?"

Another example, just for good measure: the police go to the hotel where they believe there might be some foul play taking place. There are two rooms, Sy's room and the cheating couple's room. The police first goes to Sy's room to find it empty and only then, to the other room. Why do they not first go to the room where something awful might be happening? or, better yet... Why not send agents to *both* rooms, just in case?

I could go on and on and on but, like the movie, it'd be to tedious.
