Two actors, two different movies


Keaton seems to be acting in a Death of a Salesman/Glengarry Glen Ross type movie, while Fraser seems to be channeling his naive Blast From The Past character.

Two actors, two completely different movies.

The first time I started to watch this, I had to turn it off after Keaton banged Frasers fiance on the bed while Fraser was passed out. Up until that point, I wasnt sure if these two actors and the director had any idea of what kind of movie they intended to make.

With the banging/cheating, I stopped caring... until it just aired again and I read the synopsis (I usually avoid them), and it said "Michael Keaton gets more than he bargained for...", so I figured it was a revenge, kill type ending coming up that would be worth sitting through.

All in all, this could have been a good movie, with the same cast. Maybe if they didnt sprint through the last 20 minutes with the 'twist'. Maybe if that started earlier, and they werent dragging their feet to get there, only to rush through the 'reveal'...

Maybe if they did a little more to show us the 'real' Fraser character with something more than just slicked back hair and a black suit. Oooohhhh, he's INTENSe now, not just a dumb farm boy in a white shirt!!

Maybe if they had a better director and interpretation of the material.
