A great little movie that satisfies more than most big budget thrillers

I have become sort of addicted to this movie. I have maybe 30 or so films that I use as my "go tos" when I am in the mood to watch something but don't feel like searching through dozens of titles. I know them all by heart but I still enjoy watching them. This movie is now in that group.

Sizemore is great as the aging hit man who is reconsidering his life. Alexander is beautiful and does an excellent job also as a woman living in fear. The performances are a bit underplayed and I like that. The use of the town of Minden LA is fantastic and the cinematography is quite good.

The lower budget forces the director to use real locations which I find far more satisfying than elaborate sets that just don't ring true. The secondary players are all decent and you believe they sort of belong in the location. In other words they don't come off like a bunch of actors from all over just plopped into some city they don't know anything about.

The ending is satisfying but still leaves you wondering what happens to the main characters after the final scene of the movie. This is a simple, solid little film that is great to have on even if you are doing something else. Missing a part here or there won't cause you to get lost.
