      Goatllama D Discount American Beauty. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/27/23 Full Review Tim W Forget Wm H Macy - he's a already-known factor. The support cast makes him even better: Neve Campbell is at her best, so subtle and yet revealing. And that kid is such a SMART little actor: David Dorfman. This is a thrilling yet pondering movie. Worth watching twice! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/23 Full Review Steve D Too ridiculous to work as a drama. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review jelisije j A hit man goes to a local therapist to help solve the reason for his unhappiness meanwhile finding love in a girl half his age. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Too short. This movie is good but it’s under 90-minutes. The 1st and 2nd act were good but there was no 3rd act. Everything ends pretty abruptly. The plot is simple and easy to follow and the characters are well fleshed out given the limited screen time. This film should’ve been 20-minutes longer Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/02/22 Full Review Audience Member Wow! This movie has a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from the critics. It must have been mind blowing to have a hitman see a shrink in the late 90s/early 2000s. This movie is NOT good. It has decent performances from a good cast (William H Macy, Donald Sutherland, Neve Campbell, John Ritter). The plot is very thin and this movie doesn't hold up well over 20 years later.

      Lisa Nesselson Variety A gently subversive outing full of nicely limned characters. Jun 6, 2008 Full Review Chris Vognar Dallas Morning News Bromell ... is adept at piercing the heart of dysfunctional family ties. Jun 7, 2001 Full Review Steve Murray Atlanta Journal-Constitution It's less the plot than the texture that makes the film such an engaging surprise. Rated: A- May 17, 2001 Full Review JoBlo JoBlo's Movie Network Rated: 6/10 Apr 29, 2011 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Singlehandedly, William H. Macy turns "Panic" into a slimmed-down "American Beauty" - a passive man lashing out to break a cycle of dissatisfaction and familial strife for happiness, however fleeting. Rated: 4/4 Sep 17, 2010 Full Review Eugene Novikov Film Blather An unjustly abandoned film, one that should be seen immediately on the outside chance that it makes a stop in your town. It probably won't stay there long. Rated: A- May 22, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews
