Critic Reviews
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
A passionate film noir that depends heavily upon Mr. Gere to give it credence, and Mr. Gere delivers.
-
Paul Attanasio, Washington Post
Count me among those who would be happy never to see another starring role for Gere, except maybe as Felix in a remake of The Odd Couple.
-
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
A standard-issue cop thriller that amounts to Beverly Hills Cop in a bad mood.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
An above-average film noir, and its creepy feeling for the back streets of New Orleans and the sultry evil of its red-light suburbs got under my skin.
-
Pat Graham, Chicago Reader
Pearce pads out his plot with lots of borrowed bits ... but the borrowings don't have any resonance of their own: they simply hang on the story like empty thematic husks.
