Ed Harris as the fall guy is good and the visuals of this film noir are impressive nut the narrative is severely flawed.

The film's saving grace is in the emotionally impactful performance by Ed Harris.

I enjoyed the acting, tight script and competent directing of this movie. Maybe one plot twist too many and a few too many coincidences for my taste, but overall the story was well planned & quite entertaining. Nice camera work.

Cruised along like a Body Heat remake then plunged into cheap round up like it ran out of money. Complete waste of talent by writer.

Similar to "Body Heat" but not nearly as good.

Good, slow-building, Florida-set film noir with a solid last act. Fun to see a very young Benicio Del Toro in a major role.
