Jelisije J A lot of the movie run time is devoted to building up the main character addiction to gambling, his superstitions, and his daily life with Arizona. Its a memorable film but lacks the strength to actually call this film good. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Raining all the time in this movie.....i wish it was that rainy here in Phoenix..... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Danny Cannon's film noir features an impressive cast but nothing new, storywise. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member another tale of a good cop gone bad Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
