Stylish yet devilishly confusing, this film has Warren Beatty as an
investigative reporter trying to hunt down a conspiracy that begins with the
death of a congressman and continues with the deaths of his reporter friends
that are snooping into the affair. Beatty uncovers a company behind it all
called the Parallax Corporation (think Scientology meets The Manchurian
Candidate), which may be a kind of temp agency for assassins. Naturally, he
applies for membership, getting in far deeper than he ever realized. Dreamily
designed and archly retro, I had to watch bits and pieces three or four times
just to put it all together.
I think.
