Review

the first part of the title goes something like “may you spend 30 minutes in heaven…” it’s a cross between “owning mahony,” “fargo,” and “11:14.” the story idea is a good one and philip seymour hoffman is his usual, great self. ethan hawke grew on me as the film wore on. it’s a good film with some small logic issues and a questionable structure. good overall.
