A predictable, uneven, but watchable B noir film. The script offers some ridiculous plot twits, and the overall technical composition of the film is lacking, especially in the editing department. Still, its' quirky thrills and the surprising chemistry between Jennifer Esposito and Robert Patrick make the film enjoyable enough to just outweigh its flaws. 3/5 Stars

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It was okay... but I have a few bones to pick with the director, about how Ray instantly changes halfway through the movie.
