...dioramas, stick-outs and wraparound environments of Red Grooms have been jiggling and creaking their way to glory on the fourth floor of Manhattan's Whitney Museum through the summer, and there are still queues round the block. Few American artists are more genuinely popular than this 50-year-old from the suburbs of Nashville. Look at Rembrandt and Saskia in their parlor, life-size and shining with booze!

And Kevin Tighe plays a company enforcer with a tight smile who has seen all the evil in the world and caused more than his share of it. With his round, ruddy face, Tighe always seems on the verge of derisive laughter or flash-fisted rage; it's enjoyable guessing which fever will surface first. The rest of the movie is less entertaining, a righteous homily without the grits...
