...tendency today," says LaBute, "is for movies to rush over you with everything but thought. A wave of stimuli rather than the most important thing, which is something to take home in your head." In the Company of Men is the toxic antidote to such disposable entertainment. Love it or loathe it, the picture sticks to you like guilt sweat after adulterous sex. It leaves a little spoor trail.

Hemorrhaging cyclists and motorists squared off to scream, spit...
Clinton is accompanied by three or four state police, who nod politely as he explains how the long-term future of Medicare could affect the upcoming school-board race in Calhoun County. Along the route, homeowners rush out, grab their daughters off porch gliders and drag them inside...
