2 Days in the Valley

I recently saw 2 Days in the Valley on DVD. It's a bit of sick and twisted movie (not gruesome), that tries hard to be a Quentin Tarantino movie, but falls short. It tells a number of stories that finally intersect to larger story of the film, and takes place in 48-hours in Los Angeles. There is a psycho-hitman and his girlfriend, who may have cheated on him with this guy who the psycho-hitman was hired to kill, by the ex-wife, for cheating on her with the psycho-hitman's girlfriend. There is a washed up hitman who was supposed to take the fall for the hit and 'accidentally' die, but turns out to have a knack for staying alive and cooking pasta. There is a rich asshole who verbally abuses everyone, including his personally secrectary, who falls for the washed up hitman. There is the step-sister of the rich asshole, who likes him despite him being an asshole, and falls for the washed up movie director who's suicidal. The bad guys die and the others live happily ever after -- more of less. It's a good movie to kill a few hours with.
