Robert J. Maxwell There are a couple of good things about this thoroughly routine cop mystery. Some of the performances are really pretty polished but they mostly come from actors in minor parts, such as Ron Silver and James Handy. And Silver looks great. His hair is combed back and up in what might be called a long brush cut. He's given a slight beard and mustache and a pair of rimless glasses which turns him into -- believe it or not -- a youngish Wolf Blitzer. None of the other performances are less than adequate with the possible exception of Allison Eastwood's, although she's certainly a beautiful woman. Painful to think that we may have lived through almost her entire film career, from "Tightrope," when she was eleven, through such highlights as "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," to this.The plot's ordinary. One of the cops is shooting people through the eyeball for reasons no one can quite figure out. All they know is that it's a cop. Suspicion falls on one guy, then shifts to Gina Gershon, then shifts to -- well, enough. The last few minutes turn things around in a strictly predictable way.The photography is cheap-looking and nothing is made of the location so there is nothing in the way of local color. The script is meant to be dramatic rather than humorous but sometimes it sounds as if the writers' naturally occurring sense of the sardonic could no longer be repressed. Discussing some sort of perversion, one cop remarks: "So what? Sex is legal in this state. A couple more Democrats in the house and it'll be compulsory." The commercial plot develops in such a way as to keep a viewer interested, though not engaged.

jacobMN I rented this one on DVD, and I must say, this movie is phenomenal. The acting, writing and, most of all, taut imaginative directing -- all first class. Gina Gershon is better than ever, but it's Rory Cochrane who really shines. A real gem! Also, the commentary by the director is very informative and entertaining. I'm adding this one to my collection.

ipswich-2 This is one of the movies that you stay to watch the sexy actress lead, in this case Gina Gershon, but at the end you say "What? Is that it?". There was plenty of promise with the rookie cop- experienced cop pairing and all the twists that went along. But it all falters towards the end. This is not necessarily a bad film, but it was boring, especially the second half. Gershon is stunning to watch, but that's about all the excitement you'd get in the 90 minutes. Five of 10 is the rating I'd give for this movie that should have achieved so much more.

zzalien8me This movie was so fun, I mean thin plot line with lots of fun twists, painfully cheesy dialogue, and delicious eye candy. I mean something like 10 minutes into the movie the two main characters have undressed to "make sure theres no wondering what the others like under the uniform" or something. I thought I had accidently rented a porn, I mean I know Gina Gershon's career isn't doing fabulous, but Gina in a porn? to my relief it wasn't a porn (in the traditional definition) but it did begin to look alot like something you'd see on Skinimax at 11:00. Anyways, back to the movie, it was fun I recommend it, Rory Cochrane is adorable, and not a bad actor to boot, its not a movie that will keep you thinking for days, or hours, or minutes at that. Just lots of good old American cops and robber fun.
