Beyond their quirks these people are little more than unappealing narcissists. Ron Nyswaner's film is a royal waste of time.

A lesser-seen Keanu film. While I'm not a big fan, this is probably my favorite thing he's done besides 'Point Break.' That, and it has one of my favorite actors, Fred Ward. I remember there was a summer when I must have watched this every day back in high school.
