Drug-dealing black comedy from director of SWINGERS starring Sarah Pol- ley, Desmond Askew, Jay Mohr, Scott Wolf,Taye Diggs, William Fichtner, J.E. Freeman, Katie Holmes, and Timothy Olyphant. The hip cast is actually worth the hype, believe it or not. The film is also grandly funny at times, with a loop-the-loop narrative structure that pleasant- ly recalls PULP FICTION and JACKIE BROWN. Takes a while to get going, however, and the ending isn't exactly the tightest. Doug Liman directs from a script by John August. (Rated "R"/100 min.) Grade: B+ Copyright 1999 by Michael J.
