This film is basically one long conversation extended throughout the night. Of course it's the kind of conversation that could only happen in movies but that is no fault. It has twists and turns that you don't see coming and then wraps itself up in an unexpected but not false way.
This is actually one of Steve Buscemi's better performances, just as good is Sienna Miller as the spoiled actress brat. The two carry the film and what could have become a boring night of talk actually keeps you guessing what will happen next. The duo are funny one minute and drop dead serious the next and they don't seem to be acting so much as reacting to the other character.
This is a good film but it's not the kind of movie you are going to want to watch again and again. It's almost more of and experiment that is fascinating to watch.
Trivia from the Steve Buscemi Q & A after the movie:
-Said the correct way to pronounce his last name is Malkovich.
-He thought The Sopranos finale was brilliant.
-This role and his role in Ghost World were his most demanding.
