Clay Pigeons (1998)

Funny, quirky and dark, "Clay Pigeons" will delight the viewer. Nobody really sheds new light on their talent except for Jaoquin Phoenix, who is quite apt as the leading man here. Vince Vaughn reprises his "Swingers" character but adds a bucolic feel to it. Jeananne Garofalo joins the film late into the proceedings, but immediately catches up with the pace set by the rest of the cast.

"Clay Pigeons" is fun. It's when it tries to be cleaver in it's plot that it fails. The ending just sort of lays there. But the ride getting to the finale is well worth the trouble.
