A Very Underrated ‘Neo Noir’
I think this is one of those modern-day film noirs (neo noir) that went under the radar. It is excellent, and few people know about it. It’s a very underrated film.

It had an interesting and unpredictable story with some very neat twists which a good noir might have. I’m not really sure I liked the very ending, but I sure enjoyed the rest of it. That entertainment included ogling a couple of sexy female leads, played by Elisabeth Shue and Chloe Sevigny and I loved the wonderful colors in this movie. Not only was the cinematography great, so was the soundtrack with some solid blues tracks. The guitar playing reminded me of the Ry Cooder’s work in “Midnight Run.”

The movie was labeled by some national critics as a “poor man’s ‘Body Heat.'” Well, that’s fine with me because I liked “Body Heat” a lot, too. If you liked that, you should like this movie, too.

Yes, there are a few holes in the story but nothing that damaged the storyline to any degree. Woody Harrelson was good in the lead and Gina Gershon and Michael Rapaport provided solid performance in supporting roles.

Slick And Entertaining
This slick thriller is entertaining from start to finish. Harrelson plays Harry Barber an ex con who is lured by mega rich temptress Rhea Malroux (Elizabeth Shue) in to helping set up a straight forward bogus kidnap scheme involving her stepdaughter Odette (Chloe Sevigny) It seems simple, he can earn a lot of money for doing very little. As the plot thickens Harry finds out that things, and people, are not what they seem and that is where the trouble begins. Harrelson is convincing in the lead and Sevigny is very good as the rich kid, although Elizabeth Shue tends to overact her part. The biggest crime in this film is that of Gina Gershon, who seems wasted in a weak role as Harry’s girlfriend. The film on a whole is good though, and because of this you can almost forgive a ‘Batman’ style ending!
