Reviews for Off Limits
The overseas setting of this whodunit fails to offset what is basically a lackluster story peopled by unsavory characters.
A noteworthy detective thriller set against a Vietnam war backdrop. Dafoe and Hines investigate a slew of prostitute murders in Saigon.
The acting was flat, the story was trite, and the suspense was marginal.
