Undercover cop Jim Raynor (Jason Patric) is a seasoned veteran. His partner, Kristen Cates (Jennifer Jason Leigh), is lacking in experience, but he thinks she's tough enough to work his next case with him: a deep cover assignment to bring down the notoriously hard-to-capture drug lord Gaines (Gregg Allman). While their relationship turns romantic during the assignment, they also turn into junkies, and will have to battle their own addictions if they want to bring down Gaines once and for all.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The movie depends on two strong performances for its effects, and gets them from Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Despite the false notes and grinding bleakness, the film's insider savvy makes for pungent drama.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
12 May 2001
fresh:
Mr. Patric and Ms. Leigh are able to make Jim and Kristen as grimly memorable as the drug culture that threatens to engulf them both.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
Leigh is effective as always, but has little to chew on; Patric has even less.

fresh:
Head-swiveling directorial debut of Lili Fini Zanuck lays out a tough masculine scenario [based on Kim Wozencraft's book] in a way that is always emotionally riveting.
