      Steve D So bad it should have caused the divorce... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I see a lot of critics in the reviews but I have to say I really enjoyed this 80s slice of noir. I thought the pacing was good and I could see the motivation of the characters. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This was decent enough, but nothing that is overly memorable. I found that the performances helped keep the occasionally dry script movie forward. If you like the old school film noir type of films, you might find this worth watching. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member That was actually pretty dope for a clichéd 90s thriller! Cool story, great ending. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member ok remake of the 1949 classic Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review william s A couple off screen they smolder on screen in a surprisingly tense and gripping thriller Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Almar Haflidason BBC.com Rated: 4/5 Apr 17, 2001 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The plot is irresistible from the first frame onward. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Terry Francis Southern Voice (Atlanta) D.OA. is so slickly derivative it develops a flash all its own. Even viewers who are finally disappointed by it aren't likely to feel cheated. May 8, 2023 Full Review Jas Keimig The Stranger (Seattle, WA) It's a trashy neo-noir that's clearly having a lot of fun. Jan 20, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The fast-paced rock beats in the background continue to goofily contradict the potentially deadly encounters. Rated: 2/10 Sep 6, 2020 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 5, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
