Director
Stuart Gordon (CASTLE
FREAK and RE-ANIMATOR) delivers his finest film of late based on a
script by David Mamet. Edmond is a normal working man who's just another
faceless person in the faceless gray mass. One day the rescheduling of
a business appointment makes him instead go and see a fortune-teller who
tells him that he's "not where he's supposed to be." This makes
him go home and tell his wife that he is gonna go out to never come back,
and so he heads out into the seedy streets of New York at night. He ends
up at a bar, and meets a man and is given a card to a club where he can
get laid. From there on, Edmond wanders the dark night in a sea of prostitutes,
seedy bars, nightclubs, robbers and more. His journey eventually leads
to insanity, and his life takes a turn for the worst.
