American Perfekt

dir Paul Chart - Criminal psychiatrist, Jake Nyman (Robert Forster), is taking a much needed vacation from responsibility. He decides to embark upon an experimental road trip during which every decision will be made from the flip of a coin. Meanwhile, Sandra Thomas (Amanda Plummer), a disenchanted professional, is en route to pick up her flunked-out sister, Alice, at a cheap motel before continuing on to visit their ailing mother. After being forced off the road by a mysterious assailant, Sandra is picked up by Jake, whose coin-flipping amoral attitude quickly excites her own desire to break a few rules. Or worse. Jake and Sandra's dark romance is soon driven by chance acts of crime and kindness, all governed by the flip of a coin - at least until Sandra mysteriously disappears and Jake unwittingly picks up her suspicious sister Alice. Cast also includes David Thewlis, Fairuza Balk, Chris Sarandon and Paul Sorvino. (USA 1997) 95 min. Restricted, violence.
