When... Based on the book by Eddie Little, director Larry Clark's follow-up to KIDS (1995) is a gritty portrayal of a makeshift family of professional thieves on a cross-country crime spree. When small-time hoods Mel and Sid (Woods and Griffith) adopt two young hoodlums named Bobby and Rosie (Kartheiser and Gregson Wagner) in order to teach them the ropes of crime for the gain of cash and narcotics, Mel and Sid don't realize the implications of taking inexperienced workers under their wing. They soon realize, however, the dire consequences it can have. Griffith's understated performance as the heroin-addicted "den mother" was rightfully critically-acclaimed. [More]

Another Day in Paradise isn't perfect ... but it is another nail in the coffin of Clark's critics who called his debut cheap exploitation fare.

There is little variation in James Woods's screen persona, but he does it so well.

Gets its impact from what it doesn't say about a life of crime.

This is not a movie for everyone, and I'm not certain that I even want to recommend it with strong reservations.

There's not much new here, but then there's so rarely something new at the movies that we're sometimes grateful to see the familiar done well.

Another Day in Paradise skirts various movie genres without ever developing any of them with enough depth to allow them to gel. What we are left with is another wonderful performance by James Woods and little more.

Woods creates another of his patented high-voltage characters.

Message to Melanie Griffith and those who would cast her: Griffith does not look believable holding or firing a weapon of any kind. It doesn't work. Stop doing it.
