Starring: Harvey Keitel, Stephen Dorff, Timothy Hutton, Wade Dominguez, Famke Janssen
Running Time: 1h 37min
A very slow, unevenly paced movie. It shows what happens before the action and after the action with absolutely no action. Relationships aren't fully developed, motives very unclear, and dialogue very simple for complex situations. There is a multitude of unnecessary shots, mostly of people driving around in cars, or sitting around waiting for something to happen. Then, when they are given something to do, we are whisked away to yet another character driving around doing nothing. Keitel is wasted, as is Janssen, whereas Dorff is given an interesting character but can't do anything with it due to lack of screen time, especially for a main protaganist. This movie was probably made of other movies' cutting room floor!
Grade: D+
