Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: C+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Emanuel Levy Variety 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. Rated: C Apr 27, 2007 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 3/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A grim and violent derivative revenge thriller.
