Commandments
Commandments ★★ 1996 (R)
When Seth Warner (Quinn) loses his wife (Going), job, and even his dog, he finds no solace in faith and decides to test why God would make a good man suffer by breaking every one of the 10 command ments. Rachel (Cox), his wife's sister, per suades him to move in with her and her jerk husband Harry (LaPaglia), who can't really be bothered by Seth's problems. The three leads certainly have presence but given the ambivalence of the material, the movie doesn't hang together. 92m/C VHS, DVD . Aidan Quinn, Courteney Cox, Anthony LaPaglia, Louis Zorich, Pat McNamara, Tom Al dredge, Pamela Gray, Alice Drummond, Jack Gil pin; Cameos: Joanna Going; D: Daniel Taplitz; W: Daniel Taplitz; C: Slawomir Idziak; M: Joseph Vi tarelli.
