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--\u003ci\u003ealmost\u003c\/i\u003e--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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003e--Brangien Davis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 012236101659\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0012236101659\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e dvd\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47884940902659,"sku":"JW-HW3U-W2NI","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/51NGGKEDNGL.jpg?v=1774768176","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/the-minus-man-widescreen-import","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
