This film is well worthy of your time. If you are into crime movies with more atmosphere than fast action, I mean.

Why Simon Moore didn't direct more, I really don't know. The film is skilfully composed, actors' performances are admirable (with exception of Laura San Giacomo who's acting is under average). Photography is something to appreciate, too.

I was often surprised at how few people know of this title and I am personally always glad when I find such a gem outside of hype area.

I like noir and I like different, yet not bizarre. If you think alike, try this film.

First of all, I am really an admirer of early Tarantino movies. I strongly suggest that everyone who didn't watch "Reservoir Dogs" or "Pulp Fiction" do so. No lack of violence there also. Rest of his movies could easily be skipped although "Kill Bill" has some moments. This is my first review here and I am writing it because I am so disappointed in the movie and in the direction this author is going. I suppose the great reviews and rating of this movie is caused by new generation of movie goers admiration of pure gore and exaggeration. There is definitely not much left from the original artistic freshness and mastery in somewhat artificial (deliberately) but certainly intelligent and fluent Tarantino style dialogue. I am giving it 3 out of 10, because there are still some movies worse than this one.
