By: debbie lynn elias<\/strong><\/p>\n

Embracing and celebrating film noir and all the deliciousness of the genre is THE BAG MAN.\u00a0 Inspired by \u201cThe Cat\u201d, a work by Jungian scholar Marie-Louse von Franz, THE BAG MAN is set in present day and\u00a0 filled with slick saturated hyper-realistic color and frenetic yet controlled emotion.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Directed by Dave Grovic and co-written by Grovic and Paul Conway, THE BAG MAN leaps off the screen with color, texture and mystery, captivating us visually and with the performances of, among others, John Cusack, Robert De Niro, Rebecca Da Costa and Crispin Glover.\u00a0 And let me say up front,\u00a0 Cusack and De Niro dazzle with a tete-a-tete dance of character, feeding off each other with a psychological frenzy that is riveting.<\/p>\n

\"bag<\/p>\n

Jack is a mysterious man in black. A man of few words, he likes to get in and get out when hired to do a job.\u00a0 His latest assignment is for Dragna, a legendary international crime boss.\u00a0 Jack is to retrieve a bag, go to a motel and wait to make a hand-off.\u00a0 And for that he will be paid handsomely. Simple enough.\u00a0 But there\u2019s a caveat.\u00a0 Under no circumstances is he to look in the bag.\u00a0 Do not look in the bag.\u00a0 Do not do it.\u00a0 Do not look in the bag.<\/p>\n

Following Dragna\u2019s instructions to the letter (or at least trying to), Jack heads out into the middle of nowhere on a dark rainy night.\u00a0 But things are unsettling, unseemingly, as if something is lurking around the corner.\u00a0 Almost with a sixth sense, Jack knows something isn\u2019t right.\u00a0 And as he quickly learns, something isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\"bag<\/p>\n

Sequestering himself, per Dragna\u2019s instructions, in a rundown motel run by a weird little man in a wheelchair, Jack soon finds the place busier than Grand Central Station.\u00a0 Shady characters start popping up everywhere – Russians, little people, thugs and one strikingly beautiful prostitute named Rivka.\u00a0 And dare I mention some corrupt local cops who can\u2019t seem to figure out what side of the law they should be on?<\/p>\n

As night drags on, Jack, being a gentleman, finds himself embroiled with Rivka trying to \u201csave\u201d her from various and sundry individuals, all of whom we slowly discover are intricately involved with Dragna and all of whom seem to be looking for the bag.\u00a0 There are games afoot and Jack hasn\u2019t been told all of the rules or the players.\u00a0 But everything explodes and truths start to surface when Dragna himself arrives on scene.\u00a0 And while Jack hasn\u2019t looked in the bag, it turns out that Rivka did.<\/p>\n

\"bag<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

John Cusack knocks it out of the park.\u00a0 As Jack, the hitman with a heart of gold, Cusack dives head first into the character, immersing himself in the world of Dragna, delivering passion, confidence, yet Lloyd Dobbler vulnerability and tenderness that makes his patented pointed snarkiness all the more effective.\u00a0 Thanks to Cusack, Jack isn\u2019t just a cookie cutter hitman.\u00a0 He has depth, humanity and a moral compass that struggles to find its way.\u00a0 But then you toss Robert De Niro into the mix and into a scene with Cusack and the film explodes with an unseen energy that is palpable.<\/p>\n

On first sight of De Niro as Dragna, one is immediately transported to Wag the Dog<\/em> and Dustin Hoffman\u2019s character.\u00a0 That is the specific physical look of Dragna yet the dialogue and persona is that of De Niro in the same film.\u00a0 Dragna is a physical and emotional blend of De Niro and Hoffman from that film, from poofy hair down to socks and sandals.\u00a0 It works.\u00a0 It dances.\u00a0 It delights.\u00a0 And when it comes to monologues, De Niro kills it thanks not only to his style and panache as Dragna, but thanks to some pop culture infused dialogue that cuts across the grain adding even more blackness to the inherent comedy and tragedy of this murderous night.<\/p>\n

\"bag<\/p>\n

Expounding and compounding the story and its dark heart is Crispin Glover who always adds his own element of the absurd and curious to a character.\u00a0 With shades of a Norman Bates mother attachment, Glover do so again here as the seemingly wheelchair bound motel manager Ned.\u00a0 And again, as Cusack does with De Niro, so it goes with Cusack and Glover.\u00a0 An hysterically gruesome twosome.\u00a0 Some of the blackest comedic moments arise from their scenes.\u00a0 A dead ringer for Elizabeth Berkeley is Rebecca De Costa.\u00a0 Turning tricks and turning heads as Rivka, Da Costa adds yet another layer of intrigue to the story and with her performance, weaves some unspoken texture into a growing relationship between Rivka and Jack.<\/p>\n

Dominic Purcell adds some muscle not only to the story but visually with his Larson.\u00a0 Joining in the fracas and frenzy are some spot on noir caricatures by Sticky Fingaz and Martin Klebba as Lizard and Guano, respectively.\u00a0 Unfortunately for Fingaz and Klebba, although entertaining, the silliness of Lizard and Guano detracts from the dramatic tension almost to the point of distraction.<\/p>\n

\"bag<\/p>\n

Ambiguity, double edged swords and mind games are just some of the tools in the Grovic-Conway toolbox with each being appropriately and effectively utilized.\u00a0\u00a0 Action is a plenty and well done.\u00a0\u00a0 The one downfall, however, is the somewhat neatly wrapped ending (although you will find out what\u2019s in the bag). The grit of life and murder should never end neatly in a film of this noir nature.\u00a0 Cinematographer Steve Mason delivers an Oscar-worthy lensing with many scenes metaphorically embracing the duality of story and character\u00a0 thanks to well posited and framed mirrors.\u00a0 Creating a glossy, polished palette filled with the telling effects of hazy neon and water, Mason celebrates the inky blue black tones and shadows of night, then countering that with a flood of light and color with the appearance of Dragna at the motel.<\/p>\n

Icing on the cake is scoring by Tony Morales and Edward Rogers.\u00a0 With elements and tone of an Ennio Morricone \u201cspaghetti western\u201d score, the music mirrors the man of Jack.\u00a0 Wonderful finishing thread to the tapestry.<\/p>\n

\"bag<\/p>\n

While you may be told \u201cDo Not Look in the Bag!\u201d, you definitely need to look at\u00a0 THE BAG MAN.<\/p>\n
