L.A.'s much-vilified San Fernando Valley is the setting for the chaotic goings-on in this multi-plotted comedic thriller featuring a murderous insurance scam perpetrated by sadistic double-crossers, a bumbling, love-struck hit man, a kidnapped, gallstone-suffering art dealer, a washed-up, suicidal screenwriter, a pair of burnt-out undercover cops, and one of the best catfights ever filmed. Guilty fun. [More]

Reviews for 2 Days In The Valley
Shallow characterisation, a script so laid-back you can almost hear it snoring and the occasional outburst of hokey dialogue lead to a movie a good deal less charming than it thinks it is.
Smoothly constructed, for such a busy piece of work, and Hatcher's ascent to stardom continues.
It's not that this is a bad, blackly comic slice-of-lowlife: It's just that you've just seen it all before.
Somehow, although this film's unevenness tends to take us out of the action now and then, there's something kind of agreeable about it.
A solid picture that is probably accessible to a wider audience than Pulp Fiction was...
A quirky, multi-character collage that skillfully keeps you off balance, not knowing where it's headed.
Among the many lacking Pulp Fiction carbon copies that refuses to realize its surrealistic shortcomings. An exaggerated and aimless mess starving for attention
There are too many characters, but some are a lot of fun. The tone shifts, from graphic murder to wig-flipping farce, are too extreme, but much of it works.
