Saw it this spring. Got pretty good reviews here too. I'm always entertained by Mr. Macy, plus I'm amused by the post-TV oddball character actor John Ritter has become.

Worth a viewing - it has moments - but not my favorite neo-noir by a long shot. (That honor would go to The Grifters, or The Limey or Blood Simple or Red Rock West or The Last Seduction or?????) Panic was in and out of theaters in the Midwest pretty quickly.

Memento OTOH, has played Indy for ten weeks and even broke out of the art house circuit into the multi-plexes. Hoosiers just love puzzlers, I guess.
