After superstitious cop Harry Collins (Ray Liotta) racks up significant gambling debts, he is given the option of killing an informant.

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.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, os personagens sao fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom.

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.

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.
