| 12.29.22 | Internet | Tonight's double feature is a couple of 90s crime flicks that I've heard about over the years but never sat down and watched them. I thought i'd seen bits and pieces of this one because I remember seeing pre-Sling Blade Billy Bob Thornton playing some heavy in some 90s crime thriller but this wasn't it. I remember him having a rifle or something, running around more heavyset than he is here. Except for the terrible balding / pony tail combo he looks and sounds here more or less like he did once he became a household name, but really this movie should be known for prime Bill Paxton. His character is by far the only one drawn with any complexity. Mostly this is a cinemax type movie that's just a bit better than all the others which is probably why it's bubbled to the surface over the years. There are some precursors here to Franklin's later thrillers starring Denzel, but also some 90s blues guitar / harmonica score, loose editing, and shaky performances from the LA cops and Fantasia that put it a little below the top of this particular pocket genre like Last Seduction or Red Rock West. Still good though; glad I finally saw it. |
