Rating:
Summary: GREAT, SUPRISING, WELL ACTED NOIR
Review: This is one of the better mysteries/thrillers out there. Perfectly executed through and through. Great direction (probably the best James Foley has ever done). Great cast (likewise,probably the best Jason Patric has ever done). Great script. Should be held in high regard with all movie lovers.

Rating:
Summary: An intense dark drama.
Review: When a moody, wandering Ex-Boxer (Jason Partic) who may or may not be as punch drunk as he seems. When he meets a beguiling widow (Rachel Ward) and ex-detective turned Con Man (Bruce Dern) and then they get mixed-up in a Kidnap-Ransom scheme that turns soon into a living hell.

Directed by James Foley (Glengarry Glen Ross) has made a stylish thriller with atmosphere dominate this gritty adaptation of Jim Thompson`s hardboiled novel. Jason Partic gives a terrific outstanding performance in this one. Fine Performances by Ward and Dern. Super 35. Grade:A-.
