Continuity: When Mort goes to Ken Karsch's office, Ken hits the button on his clock. The button is on his (Ken's) left. Mort reaches forward and pushes the right button to stop the clock. Later, Ken reaches forward and pushes the right button to start the clock again (this button can't be pushed down; it's already down). After this, the buttons alternate being up and down throughout the scene. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Mort: [voiceover] Turn around. Turn around. Turn the car around and get the hell out of here. Right now. Don't go back. Do not go back there.

I liked this film but never bought it, even previously-viewed which I usually do if I enjoy a film and plan on seeing it multiple times. Thus, I guess what I'm saying is the film is entertaining but not that great to run out and purchase. Rent it, first, and see what you think.
People who are in love with Johnny Depp will buy it, regardless. Depp, as usual, is interesting and plays a strange character. His character, "Mort Rainey," and the film in general are interesting right from the get-go up to the surprise ending.
Speaking of guys who play wackos, John Turturro does that in here, too. He plays a very creepy character. That was good casting, having those two guys in the same film! Also in here are Maria Bello, Timothy Hutton and Charles S. Dutton.
I wonder if I did go back and watch this several times, if I would (as I think I would) find some gaping holes in the story. Perhaps it's better just to play dumb and enjoy the movie and not worry about its credibility.
