same creedy,
self-absorbed creatures
they’ve been throughout the
ages. And ever so often, in
our search for self-gratifica
tion, we meet another per
son who means something
important to us.
Despite the dreary sound
ing point of view this film
espouses, it embraces each
character as a flawed human
being. It's about how people
must temper selfish im
pulses in order to have lives
worth enjoying

rate-takeover king Larry
The Liquidator" Garfield
He has recently sot his sights
on a debt-free but unprofi!
able wire and cable compa
ny he will buy at a bargain
and sell off the assets at a
huge profit
Larry's unabashed love for
money is something he is
not the least hit ashamed to
admit His honesty is a re
freshing touch to what could
have easily been a simplistic
caricature
Penelope Ann Miller, in .1
star-making performance,
plays Kate Sullivan She's
tough, sexy and a worthy
opponent to Larry, who is
used to getting what he
wants His response to the
challenge she presents is to
fall in love with her
C.regorv Peck is in fine
form .is Andrew ''Jorgy" Jor
gensen, .1 proud and com
passionate man who ls;
grudgmgly battles Larry for
control of the company
Jorgy's companion. Ilea, and
her daughter want him to
battle Larry tooth and null.
Instead, Jorgy puts the deci
sion of who will control the
company in the hands of the
stockholders
This is a challenging film
to watch with complex mor
al issues, well defined char
acters, brilliant perform
ances across the 'hoard and a
script (based on an off
Broadway play) that is as
juicy as they come Despite
some flaws In an obviously
tacked-on ending to satisfy
preview audiences who de
mand such changes, this is .1
generally tough and uncom
promising movie Best of all,
Danny DeVito
