RANT - Columbus Circle

A curiously dated flick - set in the current day but featuring a low-key crew and an even lower-key plot.

The main character, played by Selma Blair, is a wealthy agoraphobic who has not stepped out of her apartment on Columbus Circle for twenty years.

The neighbor from across the hall is murdered one night, and that brings the police and a host of other disturbances to Blair's life.

But as the characters add their limited weight, the ordinary plot weighs it all down, and it ends up like a ninety-minute episode of Law and Order, and those are two-a-penny.
