Drew Voros Variety The absence of true grit and dirt-under-fingernails feeling weaken the believability of the drama. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Steve Rhodes Internet Reviews Unfortunately the story, a relatively disconnected series of incidents none of which are particularly compelling, works only in brief spurts. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Read all reviews
