Owen Wilson, deserves kudos for this role, i had no idea he would be able to pull of a serious role, but he really suprised me in this movie. The Minus Man is a very special film. It shows how subtlety can be more deeply disturbing and effective in telling a story about a serial killer that enters a small town and changes the lives of those who are drawn to him. This is a brillant film of Hampton Fancher. A very human story that doesn't need buckets of blood or a killer chasing everyone around.

Nothing to the film. I like Owen Wilson, but just couldn't like this film.

Boring. The best part was the secret compartment in his truck. Woo-o.

Overlooked little gem from the man who nearly wrote Blade Runner. Owen Wilson does a great job as a drifter who kills people, he considers to have miserable lives. Very small in scope and story, yet still an interesting take on a serial killer flick.

This is the movie that made me love Owen Wilson. I was under the false impression that I didn't care for his acting at all until I watched this one. If you want to root for the bad guy, or maybe there isn't such a thing as a bad guy, I dunno. You really feel for every character in this movie, bad or good.

What i don't understand about this picture is the ad copy telling me "conversation usually follows." Well, not anymore than any other movie lately, if anything, the slow pace & direct story make for less conversation. I've always liked Owen & here is no exception. His simplistic openness adds an unreal edge to the picture that makes the odd scenes all the more reasonable. Interesting & unusual.

Probably the only time Owen Wilson has deviated from comedy or quasi-comedy and I bought it, which says something, but the pacing of this movie is a killer. Depending on your tastes, this might be worth multiple views, or none at all.
