One Of The Best 90s' Movies

Ya I really liked this movie as well, I've seen it several times and it manages to stay fresh each time. I love the tone that it uses throughout. The way they portrayed the CIA and especially what ex-CIA agents might do for work once they were fired from their jobs with the government was really interesting. It was kind of like a realistic take on the subject. No hipster camera work or cliche dialouge. No over the top bible quoting gunmen, no laughably sinister mob bosses. Nobody doing anything illegal out in the open. Just a bunch of proffessionals who's jobs happen to be grounded in extreme amorality and manipulation.

This movie is a real sleeper, a great flick that really seemed to hit under the radar. It's highly reccomended for anyone looking for a movie that does an excellent job portraying the "Shades of Gray" that make up the real world.

Why would they be angered by the sex scene? Because it was an interracial coupling? I just watched this now. The sex scene wasn't that explicit to me, speaking in general. Barkin did a full frontal but for most part she had her clothes on. No boobs showing. Kinda sucks if they were afraid to push the movie, they made it in the first place, kinda stupid not to push for it.

I vaguely recall this coming out as kid but I remember I wanted to see it, seemed interesting. Especially the clip where they show Fishburne throwing Barkin on the office table....I thought that was hot and intense. Not that great a movie, but it was good. It was s little boring though..if you weren't into the characters or actors. I could see why some people would think it is only 3 main characters driving the movie.

i remember this movie because of the excellent humping scenes between ellen and fishburne. no sentimentality, just good, hot mean f%%^ing. i also like where ellen unzips frank lagellas pants and gives him a hand job. she wasnt playing around in that movie.
