Details Limited Release: Mar 10, 2006; Rated: R; Length: 117 Minutes; Genres: Drama, Romance; With: Colin Farrell and Salma Hayek

Lifeless kitsch. In Robert Towne's ''literary'' film noir, adapted from the celebrated John Fante novel, Colin Farrell, sounding like Gary Cooper on Xanax, meets Salma Hayek, as a ''fiery'' Mexican waitress. The two pelt one another with ethnic slurs, engaging in a barely coherent love/hate tussle.
