Peculiar film, to say the least, about a deeply, psychologically troubled working man named Barry Egan (played Adam Sandler in a refreshingly off-type dramatic role) who is caught in a weird web of love and extortion, all the while trying to keep himself from completely losing it. His character is clearly one whom the audience is meant to observe rather than empathize with. However, PTA employs many incredible camera techniques (whether it be unconventional camera angles, his use of long takes or zoom and dolly shots) to at least give us a glimpse of the unease and emotional turmoil Barry experiences. Weird and yet strangely affecting, this a well-acted and directed flick.
