Jimmy Stevens (Frank Langella) has blown the whistle on his company’s corrupt practices. He knows he will be killed for it, so he anonymously hires private eye Frank Turlotte (Elliott Gould) to follow him. As the time draws near for Jimmy’s execution, we learn more about his past and how he became the man he is — and the secrets from his past which help explain his mysterious actions in he present.
Langella’s masterful acting makes this film a gem. It’s only screening once during the festival unless the schedule changes, unfortunately, but for fans of character studies and top-notch acting, it’s a must-see.
