Chazz Palminteri, David Caruso, Linda Fiorentino

Neither director William Friedkin nor star David Caruso could redeem this vulgar, nasty script by Joe Eszterhas. Caruso is a politically ambitious assistant D.A. investigating the gruesome murder of a...( read more  read more... ) San Francisco bigwig. Too many clues point in the direction of his former girlfriend (Linda Fiorentino), a shrink who has a secret sideline as call girl to the rich and kinky. For good measure, she's now married to Caruso's best friend, Chazz Palminteri. Friedkin has done much better work in other places; even he can't perform much magic here, though he tries, with a solid car chase (that suffers in comparison to those he staged in French Connection and To Live and Die in L.A.). --Marshall Fine

    good car chase....'bout it.
  • October 23, 2007
    Ofcourse it's bad, that's a given; It's also enjoyable in that so bad it's good sort of way.

    trippy but not terrible
  • September 13, 2006
    A guilty pleasure. Fiorentino is marvelously sexy but Caruso seems lost. The good, ol' reliable Michael Beihn is on hand for support.

    I remember seeing the opening scene as a child and being greatly disturbed (one by the music choice "Rites of Spring" and by the violence) and thinking, "wow, this movie's gonna be creepy".

    Well, this movie wasn't creepy more than it was unnaturally violent for a 90s movie. This...( read more) kind of violence, I think, is usually reserved for Rambo, Terminator, action movies. This movie was very porn-ish because of the nudity and STRONG sexual content (which the movie channel I watched it on neglected to mention). I love CSI:Miami and I like Chazz Palminteri, so I thought I'd give it a watch. I say watch this if you're really bored...and horny..and you just want to see strong sexual and violent content on TV..don't waste your money on a rental, you'll hate yourself.

    Awesome movie with a lot of suspense and trills.
  • February 28, 2009
    Maybe Friedkin should stick to directing car chases..
  • December 10, 2008
    no thanks not my kinda thing
  • September 13, 2008
    Need to see the entire thing.

    A suave Caruso with projected intensity...holds interest even in Spanish
