I watched Around the Bend last night. It's only worth seeing to see Christopher Walken. There's one type of actor that plays the same character the same way in every movie. There's another type of actor that plays different characters the same way in every movie. Either would normally signal a bad actor, but not in Walken's case, which is the second type. His characters range from The Prophecy and Last Man Standing to Envy and Stepford Wives. But in each movie, I see Christopher Walken playing a character. This is not to say he's a bad actor ... just the opposite. He can't do wrong. If you disagree, check out the Saturday Night Live with him hosting. Hilarious.
