He takes the standard 'assassin's last hit' formula, & shakes it up by introducing FBI agents with their own agendas, a 'plant' who may or may not be fallling for the gunman, and, in Kiefer Sutherland, a hero/villain who is ruthless, sexy, and, ultimately, sympathetic.
His performance is remarkable, & is matched by Melora Walters, as the latest of his string of doomed accomplices, who is keeping even more secrets than he is!
She shows a remarkable range in her role, at times ditzy, at times mysterious & sexy, and, by the film's climax, intelligent & self-sufficient.
For an indie, the cast is first-rate alll the way, with the always reliable Jamey Sheridan as a veteran FBI agent, as dedicated to his job as Sutherland is to his.
Leslie Stefanson as Sheridan's second-in-command, & the wild card of the operation; and, in a very sexy cameo, Rachel Ticotin, who smolders as a waitress & occasional bedmate for Sutherland.
Greenberg cleverly uses flashbacks & flashforwards to lull the viewer into believing they know how the story will end, then springs a surprise that works extremely well, & will have you paying VERY close attention to detail during the last five minutes!
If you are a fan of Sutherland, or stories with a twist & enough sensuality to raise your heartbeat a few notches, 'Desert Saints' is the film for you!
