Another quietly offbeat project for actor-turned-director Keith Gordon (The Chocolate War, A Midnight Clear), a somber and somnolent treatment of the irony-laden Vonnegut novel about an American spy in wartime Germany, to outward appearances employed, where he can do more harm than good, as a Nazi radio propagandist who nightly signs off as "The Last Free American" — another growlingly underplayed part, incidentally, for Nick Nolte. (The man's full real name is Howard W. Campbell, Jr., curiously close to that of the legendary Golden Age science-fiction writer and, more significantly, magazine editor and taste-maker, John W. Campbell, Jr.) Events turn more and more bizarre, more and more absurd, more and more Vonnegutty, as they go along, but too late or too little to break through the built-up glaze of monotony. Sheryl Lee, Alan Arkin, John Goodman. (1996) — Duncan Shepherd
