The first 30-45 minutes is good but in the middle of the movie it lacks a lot of materials to the point which at the end of the movie you feel your self in another cliche thriller!

If you don't have your integrity, you don't have anything. Good movie. -

A pretty decent thriller with a lot of well known faces. It's about a drifter making out to be a hitman, but things go from strange to worse when he finds out who the client is and and the real hitman shows up. Worth a look next time it comes on TV.

Cage's lost film in many ways. From 1993 this film stars Cage as a drifter in the wrong place at the right time this time around at least it appears so at first. Good solid performance by Cage in this film noir set in Texas. Dennis Hopper, & the late charaxter actor extraordinaire J.T. Walsh are extremely effective.

Yeah it's okay, but can we really say it's never been done before? Every aspect of this movie has been done better in another film. Saying that, there isn't anything actually wrong with this one; the acting, scripting, soundtrack and directing is all fine and puts together a watchable dark drama. One fantastic quality of this one is its runtime- it is exactly as long as it needed to be, no dragging and no rushing...

This little sleeper from back in 93 was such a great surprise. I belong to a movie discussion group and this was the selection for this month and what a treat I didn't even know was out there. It's a blend of old fashioned Noir mixed up with some dark comedy and also has a feel of a western although this takes place in modern times. Cage at his best in this one plays a down and out veteran that goes to the city of Red Rock to get a job promised by a friend - but instead finds himself accidentally mixed up in the middle of murder and blackmail & one bastardly hit-man played delishiously by Dennis Hopper. Laura Flynn Boyle in a great role for her as well. The joke here is Cage no matter how many times he leaves Red Rock finds himself returning again and again as the plot just continues to thicken.

Ok this film may have a tired story line but it's just so well made, even Nicolas Cage is pretty good, the man who steals the show though is Dennis Hopper not quite as mad as he is in Blue Velvet but dangerously on the edge as the out of town hitman. The film is quite pacy and has a lot of suspense to it, you should dedicate 90 mins of your life to this film.

MCT:February 11, 2008JT Walsh is superb. Nic Cage is ok. The tension crafted by John Dahl is at times brutal. Not a bad little movie.

One of the best film noir movies. Good acting, a femme fatale, a sappy hero, villains, and a twisty plot. What's not to like?
-
MCT:March 24, 2007I dont know what it is about Nic Cage. His acting skills are awesome. He's come a long way from this movie. And putting Dennis Hopper in the mix. makes for a good crazy wierd movie.

One of the many neo-noir copycats that appeared in the wake of Tarantino's success. The quality cast and decent twisting plot make it a watchable diversion, but it lacks the kind of weight or impact of the best examples of this genre.

Very under-seen. This is great. A tight 90-minute double-cross thriller, with Nic Cage mistaken for a hitman and Dennis Hopper as Dennis Hopper.

Excellent contemporary noir that suceeds in fulfilling every expectation whilst remaining fresh and exciting.
