Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: You can feel the gears grinding, trying to turn this attempt at film noir into something sleek and insinuating, instead of the labored near miss it turns out to be. Jack Nicholson is a Florida wine merchant whose business isn't as good as he has his unhappy wife (Judy Davis) believe. He's also consistently at odds with his churlish stepson (Stephen Dorff). Meanwhile, Nicholson is plotting to steal an expensive diamond necklace and dump his wife, aided by his mistress (Jennifer Lopez) and a sleazy safecracker (Michael Caine). It's the kind of thing James M. Cain used to toss off effortlessly, but in director Bob Rafelson's hands the strain shows at every seam as crime and romantic treachery put all of the characters on a violent collision course. --Marshall Fine

I assume all the rave reviews are because Bob Rafelson and Jack Nicholson and Michael Caine have such high reputations, but really, this is a very tired old "noir" story that we've all seen 100s of times before. Rafelson says in the commentary that he wanted to update his tale for the 1990s by emphasizing the "greed" aspect. Huh? Every noir film is about greed.
Yeah, there are lots of twists and turns and betrayals, but it's all so very predicatable because all noir films have the same ... Read More

"Cubist" wrote an exceptional review and this one will not live up to that type of quality but I will put my two meager cents in. This is the first movie that I ever saw with Stephen Dorff. I was in college at the time and immediately identified with his character and intensity as an actor. Jack Nicholson is stupendous in this role (as usual)and he ignites the friction between him and his stepson, Jason (Dorff). He is an on-the-outs wine merchant who is in debt to say the least. So in order to get ... Read More
