Stephen Baldwin was miscast.


Stephen Baldwin does not look intelligent and is not a very good actor. Fenster was in Verbal's narrative words "A smart man".

Why is a smart man teamed up in crime with an 80 I.Q. thug?

Also- the makeup on the actors was poorly done. This is true of all of the actors. Especially Chazz Palminteri who was clearly wearing red lipstick. The facial makeup was poor in this film.

Otherwise it was a great movie. I think it deserves a vote of 8 out of 10. It would be higher except for the faults I listed.

He was perfectly casted as thugish violent criminal.
