PDX claimed ´I´ve never done anything violent to anyone,´ says the mild-mannered Vann Siegert, ´Just the minimum that was necessary.´ Indeed, if you have to get knocked off by a serial killer, Vann (Owen Wilson) is definitely your man. Just a quick, sweet swig from a silver flask of poisoned amaretto and you´re out, with a narcoleptic slump into eternal slumber. There´s no taunting or torturing; he´s friendly about the whole thing. You can see Vann almost--almost--wishing his victims wouldn´t take that final sip. He doesn´t hold any particular grudge against these people; rather, as he puts it, ´I take the natural momentum of a person and draw it toward me.´ If someone looks like they´re on a crash course--like the boozy, asthmatic heroin addict played convincingly by Sheryl Crow, her acting debut--he merely accelerates the process. Wilson proves to be a mesmerizing if unlikely serial killer, his flat, Midwestern delivery ringing more sincere than sinister, more Charlie Brown than Charles Manson. His voiceovers purportedly allow us into the mind of a killer, but what we hear isn´t all that different from what we see. Vann isn´t faking the nice-guy veneer, he is a nice guy, with this one little quirk. Clearly, this is not your typical edge-of-your-seat thriller, but the slow, dreamy pace is nonetheless entrancing. There are moments of intense grace and humor here, too. Janeane Garofalo breaks away from the smart-aleck mold to portray a postal employee smitten with Vann, and Mercedes Ruehl takes a compelling turn as his troubled landlady. ´I like the detail of a thing,´ Vann says. ´Especially if it´s got a purpose.´ While we may not know for certain whether this film has a purpose, the details dare you to stop watching, even for an instant. --Brangien Davis
