The seedy secret life and death of Hogan's Heroes
star Bob Crane might seem like odd subject matter for a drama, but where
Hollywood has regularly served up the addictions of its celebrities -- usually
drugs or alcohol -- this funny, pathetic and riveting portrayal of Crane's
losing battle with sex addiction stands out. It's largely due to Greg Kinnear's
engaging portrayal of Crane and Willem Dafoe's strong turn as his sexually
ambiguous, video-enthusiast friend (and likely murderer). Unnerving, uncomfortable
and utterly fascinating. The DVD extras include filmmaker and actor commentaries,
trailers, deleted scenes, making-of featurette and widescreen format.
