Reviews
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
One of the purest and most uncompromising of modern films noir. It captures above all the lonely, exhausted lives of its characters.
|
|
Time Out -
Nobody trusts anybody, and they're right. Dern, always awkward, has matured into a showpiece of behavioural hairpin bends. Excellent.

|
Variety -
Director-cowriter James Foley has given this near-perfect adaptation of a Jim Thompson novel a contempo setting and emotional realism that make it as potent as a snakebite.
|
|
Rolling Stone -
A hot-wired crime thriller that captures Thompson's flair for hard action, malicious wit and fevered eroticism.
|
|
Empire -
As the drama circles their inaction, this trio of excellent performances fills the screen with a form of spiritual exhaustion, and the film slumps into noir’s typically happy-clappy comeuppance of failure, betrayal and ruin. But the mood has caught on, and the film, stamped with a stunning visual emptiness, haunts the memory for long after its sour close.
