Here is some recent praise of Tahmoh's part of the film:

"Hellman provides the best (and least explicitly gory) entry, about a hack screenwriter (Tahmoh Penikett, playing a younger John Saxon), who sleeps with the sultry girlfriend (Amelia Cook) of his best friend, a chess-playing, soon-to-be-great director named Stanley (Tygh Runyan). Its sense of anxiety is only increased by Hellman’s avoidance of big shock moments." -- Los Angeles City Beat

"Enjoyed the picture immensely (it is very funny and creepy) ... [Monte Hellman] is just a great director and understands performance like so few. Really impressed." -- George Hickenlooper, Director of Factory Girl and The Man from Elysian Fields
