In the style of Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon (1950), the dark comedy One Night at McCool’s (2001) is told by three men who have had encounters with a femme fatale named Jewel (Liv Tyler). Bartender Randy (Matt Dillon) saves her from what looks like a near assault and falls for her, only to find himself a victim of her manipulations, drawn into a murder plot. Detective Dehling (John Goodman) is letting his obsession with Jewel get in the way of investigating the murder. And Carl (Paul Reiser) is a married lawyer whom Jewel dominates in an S&M session. Along the way, we get a brief glimpse of Liv’s ass crack.
