“So give the stupid dog the stupid sweater and see if he can pick up the stupid trail.”
Billed as a suspense comedy, this curious film focuses on the Five Corners area of the Bronx in 1964.
Linda (Jodie Foster), a young twenty-something pet store clerk, has a sociopathic stalker, Heinz (John Turturro), who was just let out of jail. She asks her former tough boyfriend, Harry (Tim Robbins), to help her but he’s not available much anymore since he became involved in the civil rights movement. Linda’s current boyfriend James (Todd Graff) wants to help but Linda refuses because the last time he tried to help he was badly beaten.
Others in the cast include Anthony Powers as Officer Zola; John Seitz as Officer Sullivan; Rose Gregorino as Heinz’s clueless mother; Kathleen Chalphant as Harry’s mother.
Directed by Tony Bill.
Run time: 1 hour, 22 minutes
Rated R for violence.
My personal rating: B-
