    Utterly boring and stupid. Seriously this film was going nowhere and was just dragging everything on. Crap and overused storyline. What a shame, there were a few good actors in here. And Nicholas Cage for once developed his character, as all his others are the same, unlike this time.
    Don't bother wasting 2 hours of your life on this crap, unless you have absolutely nothing to do.

    Forget the other well known actors in this film, this is a David Curuso film, with the smaller parts being played by others. Curuso himself plays quite a good role, unfortunately I think Nick Cage ruined this film, his attempt at playing the pshycho, was less than believable and he just looked like a corny action star.

    So Carusos choices were: Stay with NYPD BLUE, the #1 cop show at the time....OR star in mediocre movies that should've been straight to dvd??? He made the right choice.

    I know, I know. Go ahead and make fun of David Caruso, but this is one of Nic Cage's best performances.

    Jr.....a psycho killer thug. With asthma. Yeah, that's what I thought too.

    Argh... Caruso abandoned a great role on the boob tube for shit like this. And once you knocked the dust off him - he realized his error.

    Remake of the classic forties noir, but this aptly titled version is probably more famous for being the first David Caruso's big screen looked okay.

    Decent cop movie i will give it that. Nicolas Cage honestly doenst make a good gangsta...see Face/Off. Still worth seeing on a day off from work on a weekday.

    A rather run of the mill thriller that could've worked if Caruso wasn't the lead. He's not THAT bad, but he's just so "made for TV"...but it has got some decent moments, mainly involving Nicolas Cage's enjoyably psychotic gangster.

    offhand, other than his performance in WILD AT HEART - i would say this is Nicolas Cage's best role. An awesome fun movie!! I didn't care for it though back in 1995 when i first saw it......

    Caruso and Cage, to of the most over rated, overacting actors. Wished Samuel L would tell em both to shut the f**k up

    This is the movie that David Caruso left NYPD BLUE to pursue his illustrious movie career. It had moments of being OK.

    Great performances can't save this unfortunate remake of one of the best film noirs around. Too bad, since Barbet Schroeder is a very good director.

    This flick was actually geniunely fun to watch. All the actors were great, but I must say that Cage was the most entertaining. He was both scary and ridiculous as Little Junior, and had me at the edge of my seat wondering what he was going to do next whenever he came on screen. Jackson was also good as the hardened cop, and it was interesting to see him go from hating Caruso's character to actually considering him a friend. The flick also spanned quite a few years and went from one spectrum to almost the complet opposite in terms of story. I wasn't expecting that, but it was a pleasant surprise. This is not a great movie per se, but it's definitely worth at least one viewing if you like cop/criminal interaction.

    Caruso's great but Nic Cage steals the whole goddamn show as a genuinely scary bad guy gangster. This was back when he was fun to watch.

    The kind of movie they'd play in the bizzaro world, where a redhead plays the cool suave leading man role and Nicholas Cage plays the creepy perverted villian. Unfortunatly not that good.

    this movie had all the right tools, except for writing, except for this quote: " I have an acronym for myself. Know what it is? B.A.D. - Balls, Attitude, Direction. You should give yourself an acronym..... 'cause it helps you visualize your goals"

    A fairly good crime story. I like. The action is good, the script is good and the cast (Nicolas Cage & Samuel L. Jackson, guys thats done some good stuff before). Of some reason David Caruso feel more like a TV-series kind of guy. Well anyway, it's worth seeing!
