Take out the f-words, switch it to black-and-white and the film could have been made in 1949. This is a compliment. Go to Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid 07/18/2024

Madsen's over-the-top nasty performance as a crazed killer gets your attention, in a film that feels less than filling just five minures after seeing it. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 07/17/2005

Nathan Y. @NathanYatesDouglass 6d Cool noir style film from the 80s. Lots of unexpected twists and sexy scenes. See more RaiderRo D. Jan 11 Really liked it. Good entertainment & simple story. Didn’t see the ending coming either. See more tucker s @tucker83014 Nov 5 Outstanding neo noir film. John Dahl is a fantastic director. Great acting as well. See more Glen H Jul 29 John Dahl really is the master of modern neo-noir. Sure, some of the character motivations towards the end are questionable, but all in all, the film is an excellent entry into the genre that very few films can achieve. It builds the proper atmosphere, as Dahl does with all his other noirs, with incredible performances from the whole cast. Although it's unfair to compare to "The Last Seduction" which is a modern classic, this film does hold its own as one of the best post-classical noirs. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 12 Success in 1 hour and 34 minutes!!!!!!!!!!! Starring Val Kilmer as Jack Andrews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $112,800.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic Jun 3 Never trust a women who cross you once because she will do it again.....the fact that the main character didn't learn from that mistake in the middle of the film......it just really takes you out of the experience that your watching a movie and not a story.
