...Among the film's supporting characters, only Alan Cumming can be criticized for his shallow and stereotypical work as Charlie's lonely and dying friend. Samuel Ball does a lot to give his hateful character some depth, and Matt Keeslar's brief scenes with Futterman help explain why Charlie is so haunted by his former lover...

Ships passing through the area carried the toxins both away from the harbor and back toward shore.

I joke that oh, my parents have one foot in the grave too, and then everyone looks sad and nods in sympathy...
