"Dumb" describes everything and everyone in this movie. The characters all act dumb and this includes, incredibly, even Janeane Garafalo's FBI agent. The clay pigeon's actions are stupid although his initial ones might be attributed to panic. As for law enforcement, the Lester Long character is all over the town, in the bar and pool hall, picking up waitresses at the restaurant, etc., and no-one can corraborate his presence nor the existence of his 16 wheeler? And when the company whose name is on the rig is called and a representative denies the existence of a driver with the suspect's name, this ends the matter? Has no-one ever heard of phony names? And what was the big, authoritative looking assistant to Garafolo's agent doing in this picture? One has the impression that his role was initially intended to be much larger but halfway through the filming, the director got tired and just threw some kind of ending together. Altogether, a dumb movie.
