Longo e sem foco, o filme procura conferir maior dimens�o aos protagonistas atrav�s de subtramas dispens�veis envolvendo suas parceiras.

I remember getting a free screener for this from the video store I worked for, which was great since Keitel was in it. A decent crime film with another good Keitel performance.

Keitel is underutilized in this average crime drama. The over saturated blue light reminds me of of the cinematography in King of New York. Bjork's contribution to the score is a nice touch and Viggo gives a killer performance. That's the best this movie has to offer.
