Review

This obscure 1988 film has unpolished performances from its three young and talented leads and a semi-interesting story by playwright John Patrick Shanley, who tries to weave civil rights engagement and social issues in with a fairly straight-forward crime story in what was arguably a rather personal script for him. It could have worked – were it helmed by a more skilled director. Because Tony Bill is never able to find the right tone for the film. His scenes flutter about and lack the framework necessary to ground the picture's occassional frivolousness and banalities.
