...it's ultimately not terribly difficult to discern why Truth or Consequences, N.M. has all but been forgotten in the years since its 1997 release.

This crime drama was alright. Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Pollak, Kim Dickens, Vincent Gallo, and the rest of the cast did a decent job in this movie. The plot to the movie was kind of dramatic, but it could've been better. It never really got any better throughout the movie. If you haven't seen this movie yet, don't waste your time. It's not worth seeing.

It's not the best action movie, but it would kill two hours of your time in a sort of cat and mouse chase. Martin Sheen steals the show when he appears on the screen, although he only had fifteen to twenty minute of screentime, I would say he did make a distent villain although he barely had any development. But it's a 90s action movie, so I didn't take it to heart when it wasn't that good. Good movie to pass the time, check it out if you haven't already.

Dramatic crime noir made a come-back in the 1990s to an extent and this film is a decent example of doing it right.
