2 Days in the Valley (1996)
Directed by John Herzfeld
In a sleepy bedroom community of LA's San Fernando Valley, the murder of a professional athlete by two hit men sets into motion a chain of events that puts the mundane lives of a dozen residents on a collision course. This clever tale tells the story of two hit men, a mistress, a nurse, a vindictive ex-wife, a wealthy art dealer and his lovelorn assistant, a suicidal writer and his dog, and a bitter cop and his partner.

What critics compared 2 Days in the Valley to
When Fegan's evil henchmen, including two played by Teri Hatcher (1996's "2 Days in the Valley") and Robert Patrick ("The Faculty"), come looking for the Cortez offsprings, it is up to Juni and Carmen to go on the run, all the while setting off to rescue their parents.
Other examples are Paul Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia" and John Herzfeld's "2 Days in the Valley" or even Robert Altman's "Short Cuts."
Charlize Theron first came to attention back in 1996 with her small role in 2 Days in the Valley, where she fought Teri Hatcher and completely stole away that third-rate Tarantino rip-off.
