L.A.'s much-vilified San Fernando Valley is the setting for the chaotic goings-on in this multi-plotted comedic thriller featuring a murderous insurance scam perpetrated by sadistic double-crossers, a bumbling, love-struck hit man, a kidnapped, gallstone-suffering art dealer, a washed-up, suicidal screenwriter, a pair of burnt-out undercover cops, and one of the best catfights ever filmed. Guilty fun.
