Reviews

Los Angeles Times -
Satisfying, unpretentious fun.
|
|
Variety -
A smart and snappy drama tinged with dark humor and brimming with self-confidence.
|
|
TV Guide Magazine -
Character and plot are the main event, and the film's got both in spades.
|
|
Washington Post -
The mixture of tension, yuks and horrific violence at times reminds one of nothing more than a poor man's "Pulp Fiction."
|
|
Film Threat -
About the only thing suicidal in this lethargic crime drama is the convoluted script that wastes two fine performances by Christopher Walken and Denis Leary.
