Gist of the movie is a Hollywood studio executive sort of spirals after he starts getting death threats from a writer whos script he rejected, which he takes much pride in and does many times a day. He thinks he's figured it out and ends up killing the guy and getting with his girlfriend. Ultimately, however, there is a "happy ending" for the executive, which is great for him, that prick.
As you might have guessed, this is a very dark, black comedy/satire. It stars Italian film star Greta Scacchi as the love interest, Fred Ward from Tremors and Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins, Whoopi Goldberg, Vincent D'Onofrio, "that guy" Peter Gallagher, Brion James from Blade Runner and 48 Hrs., and Cynthia Stevenson from Happiness (which I do not recommend), Dean Stockwell from Blue Velvet and Paris, Texas, and Richard E. Grant who was nominated for the 2018 Academy Award for Best Actor for the film Can You Ever Forgive Me? (he is great in this movie), among many others. It makes many film and meta references, and has 65 celebrities making cameo appearances.
Sum up with: Extremely dark. Super meta. Occasionally funny. Has a very messed up sex scene where a guy tells a gal he’s doing it with that he killed her ex to make it hotter. Oof. Best use of saying the name of the movie within the movie of all time though.
