ANOTHER MACROTIGER REVIEW : Rebecca De Mornay vehicle. Cop-film-noir films aren't really our bag. Music is sort of 1970s horror music and 1980s Michael Mann combo, until really bad funk enters during the handball game. Music completely falls about 30 minutes in to film. Acting is not bad. Rebecca De Mornay (40 or 41 here) still looks great seventeen years after Risky Business (1983). Dialogue and story are pretty bad. Camera : annoying camera jump cuts and white-outs and other camera conceits. Camera work is uneven . Some good scenes, very 1980s look. Some scenes don't work. Scenes of Rebecca De Mornay's character in bed with pet pig are a drag. Keiffer Sutherland fills the roll. Utah doesn't really look like NYC, but then again, its a low budget film. Too many close-ups.
