S a v x a Morgan Crook production Willem Dafoe stars As a Small town Deputy sheriff who assumes the identity of a dead Man to solve a crime in White Vinch Scalf writer it it m \ ii White Sands rated r Mec pm Samis Musi see world your Lime passable entertainment coming soon to a video outlet near you and you can wait there a a scene in this film in which one character says to two others a you re chasing your own after sitting through this incredibly incoherent murder mystery Lhatt a probably the Way you re going to feel too. It stasis out As promising and loaded with atmosphere thanks in Large part to the eerie Beauty of the surrounding desert where most of the film takes place it was shot in and around new Mexico a White Sands National Park. Willem Dafoe stars As Ray Dolezal a Deputy sheriff in a sleepy new Mexico town who stumbles upon a body out in the dunes one Day. Its a Well dressed Man dead from a Bullet to the head and he a holding a briefcase filled with half a million Bucks. His curiosity piqued Dolezal uses a smattering of clues to assume the identity of the dead Man. He stumbles into a web of intrigue involving not necessarily in this order Shady gun runner Gorman Lennox Mickey Rourke wealthy do gooder Lane Bodine Mary Elizabeth Mastrantoni Fri agent Greg Meeker Sam Jackson two other Fri internal affairs agents tracking Meeker a couple of scuba la military types Selling stolen ordnance and a pair of ninja women with a fondness for guns and knives. Bodine has a penchant for using her wealth to fund humanitarian causes but she also apparently likes to live on the Edge which is what draws her into working with such grungy people As Lennox. Its hard to Tell for sure but this particular situation seems to involve a Deal for a Cache of advanced weaponry that Bodine is financing and Lennox is brokering on behalf of a group of unnamed Freedom fighters in an unidentified third world nation. Scriptwriter Daniel Pyne and director Roger Donaldson who has also directed no Way out Cadillac Man and cocktail among others throw so Many double triple and quadruple crosses into the mix that you done to know whether you re coming or going. And then about two thirds of the Way through the film comes the most absurd revelation of All it involves Len no which is so ludicrous that the rest of the film becomes All but irrelevant. You keep expecting Pyne to Start tying together some of these Loose threads any minute but it never happens. The material is far beneath the talents of Dafoe who is too hip to be convincing As a naive Small town cop. He seems to know it too and by the end of the film he a lost whatever zest he had at the Start. Mastrantonio a character is also a disappointment As Pyne never explains her motivations beyond the fact that she a a Rich girl with too much time on her hands. In another not quite believable subplot Bodine swoons for Dolezal virtually at first sight jumping him in the Shower and doing All she can to entice him away from the wife he left behind when he started on this Case even though she knows virtually nothing about him. The wife by the Way is played by Mimi Rogers in a throwaway part so minuscule that it makes you wonder whether she shaving a particularly hard time finding work these Days. The Only one who seems to enjoy himself at All is Rourke whose character is Well suited to his trademark obtuseness. He a no stranger to convoluted movies wild Orchid a need i say More and he seems to be right at Home Here. As Lennox tells Dolezal at one Point a this is about brother you can say that again.
