2 Days in the Valley
1996 - 107 min. - Color
Genre: Thriller
Rated R
Country: USA

LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
L.A.'s much-vilified San Fernando Valley is the setting for the chaotic goings-on in this multi-plotted comedic thriller featuring a murderous insurance scam perpetrated by sadistic double-crossers, a bumbling, love-struck hit man, a kidnapped, gallstone-suffering art dealer, a washed-up, suicidal screenwriter, a pair of burnt-out undercover cops, and one of the best catfights ever filmed. Guilty fun.

LaserDisc Movie Review:
A variety of crooks, losers, and working stiffs living in the shadow of Hollywood find their various personal crises overlapping in this intricately woven melodrama. Lee Woods (James Spader) is a cold-blooded hit man and Dosmo Pizzo (Danny Aiello) a soft-at-heart gangster; they've been sent to murder Roy Foxx (Peter Horton), the former husband of also-ran Olympic skier Becky Foxx (Teri Hatcher). Lee's girlfriend Helga (Charlize Theron) is unhappy about his habit of killing people, and she attracts the attention of Alvin (Jeff Daniels) and Wes (Eric Stoltz), two cops who've been put on vice detail but don't have the heart to bust the prostitute they've been trailing. Alvin dreams of becoming a homicide detective, so when he discovers that he might be on the trail of a murder, it's like Santa Claus showed up in mid-July to hand him a present. Dosmo manages to escape the crime scene, only to foil a murder attempt by Lee, forcing him to hide out in the home of Hopper, a pretentious English art dealer (Greg Cruttwell), whom Dosmo holds hostage along with Hopper's long-suffering assistant, Susan (Glenne Headly). In the midst of all this, a down-on-his-luck television director (Paul Mazursky) contemplates suicide (the main stumbling block is finding someone to take care of his dog) while also being pestered by an actor with equally bad luck (Austin Pendleton) and meeting a compassionate nurse (Marsha Mason) on a visit to a cemetery. --- Mark Deming

The feature film directorial debut of longtime TV movie creator John Herzfeld, this crime thriller interweaves several related plot lines into one tongue-in-cheek noir tapestry. The works of Quentin Tarantino clearly form the template for Herzfeld's opus, mimicking the ironic dialogue, comic violence, and sprawling multi-tiered action of Pulp Fiction (1994). The filmmaker hews a little too closely to his influences, however, resulting in a stilted, uninspired lethargy that's an indication of the film's critical lack of imagination. That doesn't mean that the film's not occasionally fun, or that genre fans won't appreciate its hip, self-mocking energy. There are some good performances too, notably from James Spader, returning to his roots as a slick, ice-cold heavy, newcomer Charlize Theron in a hilarious over-the-top sexpot role, and Paul Mazursky, who usually comes off as too precious, in the nicely modulated part of a suicidal pet lover. Bottom line, 2 Days in the Valley (1996) is a B-list rip-off, lacking in the wit, style, or invention of the films it's imitating. That said, it's not a complete wash, its competent production and entertaining star turns making it worth a look. Keep in mind, however, that others who trod in Herzfeld's footsteps would do far superior variations on Tarantino themes, such as writer/director P.T. Anderson and his superb Boogie Nights (1997) only one year later. --- Karl Williams
