Review
Enjoyable and exhilarating, if somewhat predictable and dumb
crime/action/chase flick starring a tentatively low-key Andrew
McCarthy and an antagonist so mean that even Scott Glenn seems to
flinch. The film is wonderfully 1990s, in everything from the wide
suits to the fiery red blood, and the somewhat shoddy production
values blend in well with the film's ephemeral quality: You're
watching a piece of film history filled with carefree violence made
by filmmakers who think they're influenced by Quentin Tarantino, but
whose lack of finesse makes the end product grimmer, and not at all
as multi-layered. But it's still fun, because it's tight and full of
adrenaline.
