Alex (William H. Macy) is tired of the family business. His father Michael (Donald Sutherland) taught him to be a killer from a young age. He goes to psychiatrist Dr. Josh Parks (John Ritter) and falls for fellow patient Sarah Cassidy (Neve Campbell) despite being married to Martha (Tracey Ullman). His father gives him his next assignment, Dr. Parks. He struggles with his feelings for Sarah and his job. Then his father starts training his son Sammy.
The mood is a bit depressed. It doesn't have much intensity. The movie feels short not only in the running time. It feels like the flirtations are cut short. There is a great scene with Alex and Sarah. The movie needs to have more of those scenes. There could also be more conflict with the father. The tension could be ratchet up. His wife could have caught him with Sarah. The movie needs to inject more danger and more tension. Overall, this is a quiet moody little movie.
