Horror fan 4 Jul 7 A waste of drew barrymores. A leading man who smokes too much and recognizable talent wasted. Tim Treakle See more @Argyle Jul 3 My word....this is simply awful...are we supposed to be impressed by his cool cigarette smoking? Avoid See more CJ M 03/03/2022 The best thriller of 1992. An overlooked neo-noir classic from Phedon Papamichael, who demonstrates evocative visual craftsmanship with every single frame, fueled by a skillful cast at the peak of their game. See more 02/10/2022 The movie is beautiful which goes with it being directed by a an excellent cinematographer. The Production Designer and Costumes stand out. The film is full of character portraits. Jeff Fahey, Sean Young, Charlotte Lewis, Stacy Haiduk, Tcheky Karyo, and Frank McRae remind us how the great noirs were filled with character actors who carried the films. The protagonist is a sketch artist. He does not transform into a super hero in the course of the film. He tries to get information from the main suspects with mixed results. It reminds me of the Paul Newman thriller, Twilight. Jeff Fahey, who seems to have done a whole series of films like this for the streaming channels, does a good job as the sketch artist who gets himself pursued by the police. He starts out trying to protect is wife and ends up being the main suspect. I enjoyed the film. And it is beautifully made. See more 08/04/2013 Jeff Fahey is a scruffy-looking police sketch artist who sketches an eyewitness account of a suspect that looks eerily lil egis wife, Sean Young. Despite the low-quality stars, this film is actually a fairly effective pot boiler. It helps that it was written by "Battlestar Galactic" writer/producer Michael Angeli and had a decent supporting cast that included Drew Barrymore (still in her transitional "Poison Ivy" / "Amy Fisher Story" phase of her career), Charlotte Lewis, Stacy Haiduk (who I had a crush on from SeaQuest) and character actors Frank McRae and James Tolkan. There's also an excellent moody score by Mark Isham. Nothing brilliant, but kind of entertaining in a tawdry sort of way. See more 08/04/2013 this is a great movie See more Read all reviews
