Most underrated film of the 90s?

I don’t get it. I seem to be way off in left field in my high opinion of Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead (1995). I think it’s easily in the 8.0 range. I don’t think I’ve ever been so far off popular and critical consensus.

I like the first person and third person omniscient narration devices in the Afterlife tapes and the Jack Warden character, Joe Heff. I think the dialogue “Boat Drinks, “Give it a name”, “Fishing for saplings”, “It’s an action, not a piece of work”, “Buckwheats” and so forth is tight, snappy and original. I think the lighting and camera angles are pretty good. Easily the best performances Andy Garcia, Christopher Lloyd, Christopher Walken (including his performance the year before in Pulp Fiction) and Treat Williams have given in recent years. Maybe the story does stretch the credibility a bit thin, and maybe the Gabrielle Anwar relationship could be edited out. However, you are left with a really great story about a group of gangsters preparing for the end of their lives after they botch a job. It’s compelling and told in an unusual way.
