A private detective is hired to find a missing stripper but the job turns complicated when everyone he questions ends up dead. From the mean streets of Los Angeles to the desolate desert of New Mexico, Cruz must contend with a brutal Russian Boxer, three brash LAPD detectives, an aged billionaire looking for the Big Bang, and the billionaire's stunningly gorgeous wife.

For a noir, the film is way too talky and convoluted, yet for a physics lesson, it's trash.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Rotten
Is Antonio Banderas's career really such a big bust? On the one hand, it's a shame to see a talented guy slumming in this budget-bin thriller. On the other, it'd be entirely unwatchable without him.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Rotten
Even with Antonio Banderas leading a cast of familiar faces, the movie never rises above a style-over-substance exercise.
Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
I have a mental picture of the film's creators, stoned out of their minds on who knows what, cackling crazily as they outline a movie that would have more appropriately been titled "The Big Goof."
Stephen Holden, New York Times
