James Spader has always been interesting.
I just saw him in the season (and series) final of Boston Legal.
His character, Alan Shore, was married to William Shatner's Denny Crane, officiated by Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia (it wasn't for sex).
Crazy show.
That reminded me of an old VHS movie I have starring James Spader:
The Music of Chance.
Quite an interesting cast. I have always thought Joel Gray, while very talented, very creepy.
It includes: James Spader, Mandy Patinkin, M. Emmet Walsh, Charles Durning, Joel Gray, Samantha Mathis, and Chris Penn.
James Nashe (Mandy Patinkin), picks up a ragged drifter by the side of the road one day.
The drifter, Jack Pozzi (James Spader) turns out to be a down on his luck, seedy poker player.
Spader convinces Mandy to back him in a poker game against two eccentric (and harmless???) millionaires who have invited him(them) to their posh mansion.
That's the start of their problems...
From Rotten Tomatoes (some above, all below):
The film, based on Paul Auster's existentialist novel, is laden with symbolism and a growing sense of menace as the story progresses.
