Other than that, the acting was good, with Campbell transforming her “good girl stereotypical” role into a pot-smoking, goth-looking white trash chick out for a good time. Denise Richards (from STARSHIP TROOPERS (7/10) fame) solidifies herself as Hollywood’s jelly-donut pinup girl of the moment, and proves that all breast implants needn’t lead to lawsuits. Bacon is solid, and so is Dillon (while continuing to prove his inability to age to the whole wide wondering world !!). Sprinkle the story with a bunch o’ shots of alligators peeking through the swamp waters, Bacon showing the world the size of his ding-dong (do we really need to see this??), a couple of lesbian kissing scenes, and a menage-a-trois, and you’ve got yourself a decent time at the movie theatre.
On the down side, the soundtrack was not as prominent (or slick) as I thought it would be, and Theresa Russell seems to have lost her way in every which way possible….ooooh, I almost forgot Bill Murray’s exquisite role as the down-trodden lawyer who agrees to defend Dillon in court. Murray actually added that extra little spice of humour that allowed this film to affirm its position as a quirky little noirish tale of sex, greed and mystery.
