An audience endurance test, at a mere ninety minutes in length, set in the spacious split-level loft of an unsuccessful New York actor, and cornered two-timer. (A Jules and Jim poster, token of sexual egalitarianism, decorates his wall.) Stagy, despite the frequently tilted camera; witlessly, rattlingly talky; and Robert Downey, Jr., lacks sufficient sincerity to be convincing even as a convincing liar. Natasha Gregson Wagner is interesting to look at, at least for a while, in light of her parentage (Natalie Wood and producer Richard Gregson, not Robert Wagner), and easy to excuse, in that same light, for her scanty display of talent. With Heather Graham; written and directed by James Toback. (1998) — Duncan Shepherd
