HE WAS A QUIET MAN

With Christian Slater, Elisha Cuthbert, William H. Macy, John Gulager, Jamison Jones, Michael DeLuise, Sascha Knopf

Written & Directed by Frank A. Cappello

Slater seemed quiet of late (no pun intended!). Here, in the role of a cube-farm office worker in a numbing corporate environment (with a balding look), he is almost unrecognizable. This man-on-the-edge tale touches themes like those in
Falling Down and Fight Club, as we witness a man slowly losing it. A shooting incident at the office makes him an inadvertent hero, but his distorted mental state slowly adds to his disintegration as he spirals out of control.
