After superstitious cop Harry Collins (Ray Liotta) racks up significant gambling debts, he is given the option of killing an informant. Collins decides to instead rob a loan shark (Giancarlo Esposito) in order to pay off his bookie (Tom Noonan), so he can run off with bartender Leila (Anjelica Huston). He is aided by his rough partner, Mike (Anthony LaPaglia), as well as corrupt officers James (Daniel Baldwin) and Fred (Jeremy Piven), and the robbery quickly becomes more than Harry anticipated.

Well structured with some unique dynamics involved, but maybe a couple too many. Alot goes on in this, which naturally causes focus problems for some viewers... and explains while I didn't hear about it until now. At least they avoided flash forwards and flashbacks.

Danny Cannon's film noir features an impressive cast but nothing new, storywise.

Watchable B-movie. Has many holes in its storyline but given the b-rate cast this is to be expected. Watch it without too much expectation/hope for it and you will enjoy it best. Ray Liotta gives a decent performance.

Uninspired 1990's Tarantino rip-off, complete with violence, crime, humor, pop culture, and even a slow motion walk of a crew of dudes over the opening credits. Highly derivative and offering nothing original. The only saving grace is that the film somehow managed to wrangle a strong cast of leading men and women, along with a lot of familiar character actors including Ray Liotta, who was also one of the producers on the film, Anthony LaPaglia, Daniel Baldwin, Jeremy Piven, Royce D. Applegate, Xander Berkeley, Brittany Murphy, Giancarlo Esposito Anjelica Huston, Tom Noonan, Giovanni Ribisi and Kari Wuhrer (who I've always kind of had a b-movie crush on). Graeme Revell provided the music.
