  • On an ordinary night, in an ordinary part of town, a beautiful young woman walks into a bar. Her name is Jewel, and before long she is chatting to bartender Randy. The pair leave together, but he ends up getting into a tussle with her criminal boyfriend, who she then shoots dead, later persuading Randy to take the rap for her. But this isn't the end of it, as both Randy's cousin Carl and the detective assigned to the murder case also fall for Jewel's charms and find themselves caught up in the ensuing events. It seems that any man who meets Jewel falls instantly in love with her, and she's going to use this fully to her own advantage, leaving a trail of havoc in her wake. It also seems that she is going to get away with it - that is, until Randy decides to hire a hitman...

  • What do you get when you take Martha Stewart, strip her of her wealth and morals, and make her noticeably younger and more attractive? The answer is Jewel Valentine (Liv Tyler), the warped domestic-minded center of One Night at McCool's, Norwegian director Harald Zwart's first foray into American cinema. And like Martha Stewart, this gem is quite a force to be reckoned with. The majority of One Night at McCool's is a series of various interconnected flashbacks, narrated by three men seduced by Jewel. They are Randy (Matt Dillon), a bartender at the local bar McCool's; Carl (Paul Reiser), an arrogant attorney and Randy's cousin; and Dehling (John Goodman), a widowed police detective. Jewel, the parasite that she is, uses all three men as she needs them in her quest for domestic bliss, such as when she makes Randy rob other people's houses to furnish her shabby own. While Carl and Dehling perpetually remain in Jewel's clutches, Randy, perhaps in a moment of lucidity, decides to employ the services of Mr. Burmeister (Michael Douglas), a senior citizen hitman, to end Jewel's domestic reign of terror. This plot, unfortunately, is the film's weakest asset. The last twenty minutes or so, though providing a few interesting surprises, are for the most part too farfetched to furnish a sufficient ending. There are too many questions remaining, primarily concerning Jewel. The audience is left essentially wondering where she's coming from. This lingering mysterious air may have be...

  • ONE NIGHT AT MCCOOL'S One Night at McCool's, the noir-esque comedy by debuting director Harald Zwart, begins promisingly enough: Three men - a good-natured bartender (Matt Dillon), a snaky lawyer (Paul Reiser), and a hangdog detective (John Goodman) - visit three separate confessors (hit-man Michael Douglas, incredulous shrink Reba McEntire, and randy priest Richard Jenkins), each detailing their obsession with the mysterious, definitely dangerous Jewel (Liv Tyler), the beauty who ruined their lives. Physically, emotionally, financially, this trio of saps couldn't be more disparate, and we're initially curious to see how their stories connect, how Jewel wound up seducing them, and what, exactly, her intentions are.
