Couple reasons to watch this movie


For an Anthony Hopkins fan, there's a few interesting scenes that I liked this movie for: One of them was when Anthony Hopkins went into the bank to withdraw all his funds and close his bank account. That was INTENSE.

Actor David Morse was impressive. His acting was top notch. Especially when he was talking to the women outside the store when he had blood all over him. If you ever use an actor's ratings to judge movies you haven't seen, look at David's. His ratings show that his films are usually pretty well received....except THIS movie.

Another reason to watch are those very same women you mentioned; the one with the bandanna had the most perfect ass i have ever seen.

That was Brittney Lewis in a pretty memorable sequence in ridiculously short shorts (which was part of the joke of the movie, like Lindsay Crouse's over-the-top FBI agent).

Cinematography is wonderful here. Constant close-ins add a lot of intensity and do not look silly or feel unneeded. That DP, Douglas Milsome, did a pretty good job. Actually, I found this film to be very good. I don't get, why this got so little in the box office. Maybe because it looks like a Hitchcock movie? )

I enjoyed this movie, 1 of Mickey's better movies too. Its definitely under-rated, in my opinion.
