    An overlooked and underrated thriller with a great cast and some memorable lines.
  • January 29, 2009
    Tries to be tough, but just misses. Only effective when the feds start to screw over Caruso & family. Otherwise kind of a waste of cast.
  • May 27, 2008
    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...( read more) he just looked like a corny action star.

    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.

    could've been better not that great i believe this is the movie that put David Caruso's career on hold.

  • February 3, 2009
    A COMMON action film
  • January 1, 2009
    I love David Caruso.
  • December 13, 2008
    Not a bad film. Has a good cast. A movie about a ex-con helping to bring down a criminal organization. The story is decent and was entertaining.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Cage and Caruso strike sparks in this riveting piece of pulp fiction, but it's that first Kiss you'll remember. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It shouldn't be disjointed and uncompelling, but it is. full review
