black and white doesn't make gray, this film is filled with colorful characters and great cameos, I love film like this which just sweep you up and take you around town with these different individuals just living with them for a few hours, the musical choices fit perfectly and performances Toback draws from his actors - no surprise even Tyson gets to impress me. another interesting choice for Downey JR. look for Brett Ratner overall 8/10

just caught this film again and happy it still stands up after 10 years, Albert Pyun really puts his lowbud helming abilities to great use here with post war locales and great wardrobes, the action is much higher standard than standard b movie fare of today, borrowing much from John Woo / Chow yun-Fat flicks, the story serves to give us the action and effects we want. shame Gruner never topped this and never will with movies like the Circuit and Crackerjack. action 8/10 story 5/10 chicks 8/10
