Wesley Snipes, Dennis Hopper, Lolita Davidovich

Even a fine cast can't do much to breathe life into this thin gangster piece. Dennis Hopper stars as a pathetic small-timer trying to get ahead with one final score. The bad guys don't take him seriou...( read more  read more... )sly, a cop (Wesley Snipes) is content to mow him down if necessary, and a woman (Lolita Davidovich) who cares about him just wants him to settle down. Director James B. Harris has the raw elements of a middling film noir in front of him, but he can't even link up the pieces enough to make Snipes and Hopper appear to be in the same movie. The DVD release has a full-screen presentation, Dolby sound, and closed captioning. --Tom Keogh

    A unremarkable movie. Cops bend the rules a bit to catch the bad guy.
  • January 1, 2009
    Should have been great. Instead lethargic and confusing to the point where you won't care.
  • February 28, 2007
    Utterly run-of-the-mill action/crime drama that's very low on ideas or invention of any kind. Completely forgettable.

  • November 21, 2009
    I wouldn't put this flick on the same level as Passenger but it's a good film. I find it very entertaining.

    Maybe I would have given a better rating if 1. you would have "told" us that it was in a different language. 2. Given us the option of choosing to watch a foreign film.
