Wandering up the West Coast, Siegert chooses victims from a parade of social misfits and expounds on his motives with a pocket tape recorder (a monologue that serves as the film's narrative voice-over). A brief layover in Owensville eventually finds Vann in the company of warring middle-aged couple Doug and Jane (Brian Cox, Rob Roy and Mercedes Ruehl, The Fisher King), who grow fond of the young drifter's amiable demeanour and take him on as a boarder. After landing a job at the local post office, Vann catches the eye of co-worker Ferrin (Janeane Garofalo, ), and a tentative romance blossoms - but even love can't distract Vann from his crusade to terminate people's unhappiness. A Sundance sensation, The Minus Man merges Hitchcockian thrills with the moral complexity of Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer. Overlooked on theatrical release despite a sensational performance from Wilson playing bravely against type, Fancher’s hugely original psychological drama is ripe for discovery.
