...either on a fixed salary or part of a group that pools and divides fees) - and he must arrange for another surgeon's help. This used to be easy, in 1985, when the standard assistant surgeon's payment of 20% of the primary surgeon's fee was a great incentive.

...messages to the film’s more obvious moral points about diversity: as a vampire who has lived for 200 years, he philosophizes that “life may be meaningless, but death I still have hope for.” In these sober moments, Reilly showcases his great range, moving beyond his comic roles in “Step Brothers” and “Talladega Nights,” and lifting the film to a more elevated register...
