2 Days in the Valley (1996), written and directed by John Herzfeld, is a stylish neo-noir ensemble thriller set over 48 chaotic hours in Los Angeles. Featuring an interconnected web of hitmen, desperate lovers, washed-up professionals, and opportunists crossing paths by chance and bad luck, the film blends dark humor and crime drama with sharp, character-driven storytelling.
Starring Charlize Theron, James Spader, Teri Hatcher, Jeff Daniels, and Danny Aiello, the film is especially noted for Theron’s breakout performance and its sleek, sun-bleached L.A. noir aesthetic — part of the same mid-’90s crime wave as Pulp Fiction and Get Shorty.
