05/17/2012 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 See more 07/24/2009 Excellent. Nice balance of predictability and U-turns. See more 03/23/2008 I *THINK* I may have watched this...once... See more 02/15/2008 It was okay... but I have a few bones to pick with the director, about how Ray instantly changes halfway through the movie. See more 08/15/2007 Oh I LOVE this movie, Robert is so great in it and the twist at the end, wow!!!! See more 04/22/2007 smart plot, and RP was great ;) See more Read all reviews
