There were batches of such craps twenty years ago, empty stories, empty characters but pulled by good story telling and sometimes excellent photography and directing too. Fancy junk, juicy garbage, luxurious crap. This one is an excellent time waster destined to video market at this time. The good point is the hired killer character played by Michael Madsen. An awesome anti hero role, the kind of character which he had many times, and Gary Busey is also worth the ride in this not so bad high rate junk.

Stylised nineties crap
definitely worth watching
I read the comments before seeing this flick, but I disagree. This film is effective in its combination of a reasonable plot, worthy acting, a good cast, and violent as well as soft segments. The two roles played by Jennifer Tilly were believable. Michael Madsen did a great job as the thoughtful tough guy. Also, the theme of loyalty or lack thereof gave the film more meaning.
God awful ! ........
Michael Madsen, Jennifer Tilly, Gary Busey, and Robert Loggia, are totally wasted in this film, mainly because the script reads like it went through a blender. Characters appear out of nowhere with zero development. You've seen it all before, only there perhaps it made a little bit of sense. I mean, Michael Madsen knows Jennifer Tilly's Sister for about fifteen minutes and falls for her. People show up in locations for gun-play, with you the viewer, having no idea how they knew how to get there. Forget the fine cast, skip this movie, and avoid wearing out your finger with the fast forward button. You have been warned. - MERK
