Like other Irvin films, this noir saga (more of an urban Western) is burdened with a philosophical layer that's incongruous with the basic tale, though acting by Keitel, Dorff, and others is good. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
1.5/4
The movie plays more like an exercise in noir atmosphere and violence than like a story; the pieces are sometimes nice, but they don't fit. Go to Full Review
