The Prime Gig (2000)
5/10
Had a very different take on this than inframan (the first commenter).

Vince Vaughn makes a convincing "trapped looser" and the frustration emanates off the screen. The love scenes made the ending that much more vital and Julia Ormand is convincingly and sexily enthralling. Had to watch them twice.

I saw this on DVD, did not hear of it in distribution and it may have been appropriately sent direct to video by the studio. It's not a BIG picture, but the characters are entertaining (Wallace Shawn, Stephen Tobolowsky, George Wendt, Rory Cochrane, et. al.). Ed Harris, as always, is very good.

The coverage in some of the scenes was inadequate to provide enough editing material for smooth scene movement (bedroom scenes). Nice camera work from veteran John Alonzo.

The ending left me hanging, but it still seemed like the only finish for this story that made sense.
