The part of the depressed, weird man was tailor-made for William H. Macy. He is often quite droll throughout the movie and although that is what the part calls for, it can rub on your nerves at times.
As Alex, he seeks the advice of a psychologist who was nicely played by the late John Ritter. Alex is in the mail-order business and his second job is a hit-man for his father. He is perplexed because he wants to quit, but his dad will never allow it.
Of all people, Barbara Bain shows up as Donald Sutherland's (the father) wife. She is the dutiful wife.
There is a fine performance by Tracy Ullmann as Alex's perplexed wife and Neve Campbell is in fine form as the girl Alex meets while in therapy who tantalizes him.
The ironic ending could be described as somewhat predictable, but it was interesting to view how events folded.
