Never...! go...! dark!

Warning: Spoilers
Five friends - Kyle (Jon Favreau), Boyd (Christian Slater), Adam (Daniel Stern), Michael (Jeremy Piven) and Moore (Leland Orser) - travel to Las Vegas for Kyle's bachelor party. Michael accidentally kills a prostitute; while the group is considering what to do, a security guard sees the corpse and Boyd murders him. The five decide to bury the bodies in the desert and pretend nothing happened. However, paranoia soon escalates; as Kyle's wedding with Laura (Cameron Diaz) draws near, bodies begin to pile up.

Performances are adequate with a couple of stand-outs: the amusingly over-the-top Slater as Boyd, who is half emotional guru, half serial killer ("I'm like a lighthouse! I stayed lit for you man!"), and Diaz as harpy-like Laura, who gets her karmic comeuppance in one of the most misanthropic finales in recent cinema.
