John (Jon Favreau),a failing out of work actor, hesitantly agrees to transport a mysterious blue suitcase, contents unknown, into the remote desert and deliver it to a mysterious person only known as Cowboy in order to wipe his tremendous debt that he's in. By taking the job he doesn't realize that he's in far the weirdest events n his life (including but not limited to, a femme fatale, her crazy jealous boyfriend, Kelsey Grammar as a FBI guy investigating a beheading, and more) in this quirky little subtle comedy that's reminiscent of David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" with a bit of "X-files" thrown in, but not as dark as the former, nor as complex and involved as the latter. Any film that Jon Favreau seems to star in I enjoy (well except for a small handful that I actively detest, but none because of him) and while this film is not as great as his other dark comedies that he's starred in (Very Bad Things and Made), it's still perfectly serviceable, with fine performances and is a pretty good first time effort by Director Steve Anderson. Even if it loses some steam towards the end (and I still can't divorce Kelsey Grammar with his "Frasier" character, no matter how hard I try)
