Danny Aiello stars as a fiftysomething car salesman from Los Angeles who agrees to escort a voluptuous minor (Angelina Jolie) back to the desert trailer where her seductive mother (Anne Archer) and psychotic boyfriend (Michael Biehn) wait for her. Various misadventures follow: after the young people take off, Aiello dances with the older woman under the moonlight, falls asleep, finds a body in his car trunk the next morning, and is gradually absorbed into the boyfriend's paranoid delusions. The script by Leonard Glasser is a bit intoxicated with its own offbeat tone, and the direction by Kevin Dowling leaves something to be desired about this independent feature. But the fine cast helps make up for these deficiencies, and the Mojave desert locale is a fun and unusual setting in which to see this particular group of actors on screen. <I>--Tom Keogh</I>
