One thing that's great about actors turned directors, like Peter Berg, is that they can be great at eliciting performances from the cast.
Acting is everything in this movie - as the plot spirals out of control, the acting has to maintain the necessary suspension of disbelief. Here it does.
Daniel Stern gives an eyeball-popping tour de force among a cast with some excellent character actors.
A gory and grotesque comedy nightmare masterpiece!
