		Vinner gör man genom att antingen vinna tre matcher eller vinna på poäng genom att klämma i med några fina kombinationer.

	The Minus Man, A Novel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		On the minus side, the overall theme of this novel is so depressing, readers may lose interest before the ending, which holds little payoff.
		The Minus Man, adapted and directed by Hampton Fancher is being released as a film in fall 1999 starring Owen Wilson, Janeane Garofalo, Mercedes Ruehl, Dwight Yoakam, and Sheryl Crow.
		Vann Siegert is by all appearances an ordinary man. With only his truck and a few possessions, he has moved cross-country to start a new life, taking a temporary holiday job at the post office in a small Massachusetts town.

	Minus Man, The (1999): Reviews
		The sly and subtle Minus Man is a wicked little sidewinder of a fl comedy.
		Actually, The Minus Man is minus a lot - intensity, a point of view, maybe even a point - and that equals an unsatisfying film.
		There are absolutely no psychological insights into sick minds in The Minus Man, a poky, opaque drama with a good cast and not much going on upstairs.

	THE MINUS MAN movie review (with photos and clips where possible)
		Unlike The Silence of the Lambs or Frenzy, The Minus Man doesn't exploit suspense to grab you.
		We become more fascinated by Vann's effect on her and the other folks around him and less concerned with discovering which ones are likely to become his next victims.
		The Minus Man marks a long-overdue directorial debut for veteran screenwriter Hampton Fancher, whose scripts include Blade Runner and The Mighty Quinn.

	MetroActive Movies \| 'The Minus Man'
		The pretty locations of the set are a mistake, however, because to make this limp fable work, the director needed a bad small town, a background in which death is merciful--not an affluent town with plenty of sun, palm trees and a nearby beach.
		Ultimately, The Minus Man turns out to be nothing you'd want to drown a granny over.
		'The Minus Man' (R; 112 min.), directed and written by Hampton Fancher, photographed by Bobby Bukowski and starring Owen Wilson, Mercedes Ruehl and Janeane Garofalo, opens Sept. 24 at selected theaters.

	MMI Movie Review: The Minus Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The surprising thing about “The Minus Man” is that he sounds a lot like a number of men I know.
		Many factors contribute to making “The Minus Man” the blood-chilling creeper that it is, including the presence of Lew McCreary himself as one of Siegert’s random victims.
		If we dug all the way down to the source of his homicidal impulses, we’d only discover with a sigh that there is no mystery, only a cypher who places the same moral value on drinking a glass of water as he does on poisoning his umpteenth stranger for the hell of it.

		Minus Man is an interesting little film that made it's debut at the Sundance Film Festival.

	Filmtracks: The Minus Man (Marco Beltrami)
		The Minus Man: (Marco Beltrami) The directorial debut of Bladerunner writer Hampton Fancher, The Minus Man was a psychological character study that was actually received quite well by critics despite a total collapse at the box office.
		The only truly inspiring moments on the album, interestingly, are the songs, which are performed by two women who, like the score, have a very post-modern parochial sound to their quite poor, free-floating performances; the first two of the three songs are an enjoyable break from the otherwise monotonous score.
		Beltrami's contribution to The Minus Man is not of great length on the album, with only twenty minutes existing outside of the songs.

		OWEN WILSON plays a mostly pleasant, mild-mannered man who happens to be a serial killer.
		BRIAN COX plays a married man who isn't happy with his life, has a problem of beating himself and also uses strong profanity.
		Doug and Jane's marriage is rather shaky, and their daughter has apparently run away or simply isn't talking to them (but is gone, without them knowing where she is).

		The Minus Man is living proof that a movie can be about abosolutely nothing and still be enjoyable.
		The story of The Minus Man follows the travels of a lovable character who goes by the name of Vann Siegert.
		It's amazing how even the two minute trailer to The Minus Man develops characters, even though they are completely unrelated to the movie itself.

	The Minus Man . Austin Chronicle . 09-27-99
		The cast of The Minus Man practically describes cutting-edge indie cinema, and it's Owen Wilson's first leading role since his warm, quirky debut in Wes Anderson's Bottle Rocket.
		Adapted from Lew McCreary's novel, The Minus Man follows the rambling path of Vann Siegert (Wilson), an amiable blond traveler with wistful eyes and a bashful grin that belies his penchant for serial killing.
		The Minus Man never even comes close to those high angst marks; it's the most lackadaisical thriller I've ever seen, overly infatuated with not only the inexplicability of random evil, but also its mundanity.

	The Minus Man
		The Minus Man, writer-director Hampton Fancher’s low-budget allegory about the double-edged nature of innocence, is so in love with its enigmatic air that there’s no there there.
		The Minus Man never makes clear what it is about Vann that so disarms the other characters – it’s certainly nothing in his dialogue, which is a series of vanilla-flavored pleasantries.
		The Minus Man shows signs of heavy tinkering in the editing room – an inexplicable scene with Meg Foster parachutes right through the middle of the movie without disturbing a thing – but it’s hard to imagine that Fancher’s vision would be much different even if it were delivered to us pure.

	The Cold Spot -- The Minus Man
		Which all goes to say why The Minus Man is unique and terrifying, in an intellectual way.
		The killing acts in other films of this subgenre are either crimes of passion, desire, or greed (as in films as varied as Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt, which The Minus Man resembles in some ways, and A Clockwork Orange) or quasi-scientific curiosity (Spoorloos and its offspring The Vanishing).
		What does matter is this: everyone involved in The Minus Man--from director Hampton Fancher and cinematographer Bobby Bukowski to Owen Wilson, who completely redefined my opinion of his acting ability--succeeds in creating a unique, intelligent, and rewarding work.

	The Minus Man . Weekly Alibi . 10-11-99
		Based on the novel of the same name by Lew McCreary, The Minus Man posits the idea of evil as banality, banality as evil.
		As adapted by first-time director Hampton Fancher (lauded screenwriter of cult sci-fi fave Blade Runner), The Minus Man is less of a horror story and more of dark, disquieting and occasionally witty character study.
		Despite his tenderness, though, we know Vann isn't the man to provide her with what she needs -- which makes their relationship all the more melancholy.

	Minus Man
		While these movies can frighten you for a little while, the lights come up in the theater (or home theater as the case may be) and your logical side of the brain takes over again and you know there was nothing to be truly frighten about.
		The Minus Man is also about a monster but one far more lasting in how it frightens you.
		Hampton Fancher has his freshman directorial effort with Minus Man. He was previously best known as the screenwriter for Blade Runner he has the arduous task of maintaining the perfect pace for this film.

	The Minus Man
		Original Review: In the UK, Hampton Fancher's movie The Minus Man was bought by the satellite TV network Sky and shown as a "cable premiere", completely bypassing cinema screens and video store shelves.
		His work on The Minus Man has received an equally mixed reception but, unlike the majority of other reviewers, I actually quite like it, but more as an interesting curio than a deeply fulfilling film score experience.
		While The Minus Man may not be to everyone's tastes, I found it to be a challenging and interesting listening experience.

	The Minus Man Movie Review
		Hampton Fancher, the Blade Runner screenwriter and the first-time director of "The Minus Man," creates a film that sets a dark mood of everyday normal life contrasted by the cheery personality of Vann, who looks like the average "Joe," easily fitting into his surroundings.
		He is such a well-mannered and congenial young man, whose appeal is supposed to make us irritated that we can like someone like him.
		What carries the day for this film about the banality of evil, which presents its story as a mind game Owen Wilson is playing, is the strong performances by him and Brian Cox, as they both are good at conveying men who are psychologically damaged goods.

	'The Minus Man': A Killer Comes to Town With Poison in the Pickup
		The movie is narrated by Vann, who confides his thoughts in an affectless drawl to a tiny portable tape recorder.
		"The Minus Man," adapted from a novel by Lew McCreary, takes such pains to avoid narrative and verbal cliches and anything that could remotely be construed as sentimental or romantic that it feels curiously flat.
		Rating: "The Minus Man" is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian).

		If there's anything fascinating about "The Minus Man" -- and that's a big "if" -- it's the way the film lies to its audience.
		The flaw at the center of the film is a small, fl tape recorder.
		"The Minus Man" suffers from Fancher's lethargic, uncertain pacing, which fails to resonate like the Hitchcock and Lynch films the director is trying to invoke.

	The Minus Man - Synopsis - Moviefone
		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: "They come to me like moths, because I shine," he explains.
		Though not the complex psychological game it purports to be, The Minus Man is an intriguing character study -- imagine a kindler, gentler version of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer -- with some clever twists and fine performances, including a touching portrayal from the usually acerbic Garofalo.
		Geared more to the art-movie crowd than to fans of Hitchcockian thrills, this film opened to raves at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival.

	The DVD Journal: Quick Reviews: The Minus Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Minus Man was in and out of theaters quickly in 1999, and for good reason.
		But where such titles as Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, The Silence of the Lambs, and Man Bites Dog are superior films dealing with the inner workings of the criminal mind, Hampton Fancher's The Minus Man comes up short.
		It's creepy stuff, and the first of two theatrical trailers (which follows a couple who have just seen the movie around New York City discussing it all night, with a neat twist at the end), is actually more interesting than the film itself.

	Amazon.com: The Minus Man: DVD: Owen Wilson,Sheryl Crow,Dwight Yoakam,Dennis Haysbert,Alex Warren,Mercedes Ruehl,Chloe ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		For those who like unconventional zest in their films, "The Minus Man" should make for an interesting cup of tea, depending on how far your patience will take you.
		His arrival in a small town leads him to rent a room from Doug and Jane Durwin (Brian Cox and Mercedes Ruehl), who seem to be having problems with their marriage, possibly as a result of the absence of their daughter; the movie makes the mistake of not expanding on this tension.
		In a way, this is as it should be; that the movie ends on a note of ambiguity provides for one final chord of tension, a sense of unease that may not be what we expected from the extreme buildup of suspense prior to the conclusion, but is nonetheless brooding.

	The Minus Man Movie Review
		With just the sort of script that Hitchcock would have been drawn to, THE MINUS MAN features everyday people who aren't always quite what they seem.
		In an age in which studios think that audiences will not see a movie unless the entire plot is revealed in the trailers, THE MINUS MAN dares to have a trailer that features not a single clip from the film.
		A meticulous and delicate little mystery and thriller, THE MINUS MAN can be thought of as the anti-SCREAM -- low on gore, as if the killer himself made the movie.
