Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It demonstrates a filmmaker in complete command of his craft and with little control over his impulses.
– Mick LaSalle,

rotten:
It's so empty emotionally it's difficult to see what the point is, unless it's the celebration of emptiness, an aim that has become so familiar recently it hardly seems worth the trouble everyone has gone to.

rotten:
It's a disappointing ride.

fresh:
Penn turns in a crisp, unfussy comic performance, Lopez vamps like a scorpion in heat, Nolte sustains a pretty good John Huston impression, and Thornton is mighty peculiar as the mechanic from hell.

fresh:
The stylistic fun Stone has in dramatizing this crime of passion thoroughly revitalizes the well-worked genre.
