joelgibbo7 Worth watching for Charles Dances attempt at an southern American accent. They should of just made his character British. Haha

km_staple To me, the ending was like they didn't know how to end the story, so lets just kill them. But Ed Harris is wonderful and so sexy in this movie. I've watched it many times! The rest of the cast is great as well.

Mikel3 This is a mostly predictable neo-noir film worth seeing for the fine acting. There's at least one surprise twist in the story to spice it up. I have some issues with the Ed Harris character making some rather dumb moves. I wanted to yell at the screen. I suppose that was needed or they'd have no movie, as my wife pointed out. And besides stupid moves are often the case in films where a femme fatale has some poor guy blinded by love and lust. Often an otherwise intelligent law abiding man throws it all away for the love of an attractive woman in trouble. The movie was visually impressive at times and the ending will stick with you. I rate it 6 out of 10 stars.

rsternesq First of all, the acting was great. Ed Harris was just plain wonderful. While I don't require perfect realism or logic and understand the noir conventions that rely on twists and coincidences,this movie is hurt by inconsistencies that happen because of inconsistent application of intelligence. Kyle is smart and not a noir chump. He isn't brought down by accidents or because he is just too dim to figure things out. Kyle just acts dumb and/or unobservant sometimes and that is hard to buy into. Had the script relied on something other than Kyle's uneven smarts, this could easily have rated an 8 or 9 just on the strength of Ed Harris' eye contact with Ms. Stowe.
