Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe novel "Blood on the Moon" upon which the movie is based was rejected by 17 publishers due to its violent content.
- GoofsLesley Ann Warren chain-smokes throughout the movie but is clearly a non-smoker. She never handles the cigarette like a smoker would, constantly takes puffs without inhaling, picking up and putting the cigarette down constantly when a real smoker would hold it. It's just obvious she's not comfortable with the cigarette.
- Quotes
Lloyd Hopkins: [Last lines] Well, there's some good and there's some bad news. The good news is you're right - I'm a cop and I've gotta take you in. The bad news is I've been suspended and I don't give a fuck.

Featured review
Better than it first looks.
There are times that this feels like a TV Movie. In fact, if it were not for the presence of James Woods that is all this would be, a good TV movie. As it is, Woods acts his socks off without overdoing it. He manages to pull this up to a much higher standard, very watchable stuff, in fact. There is nothing really ground shaking in the script and, to be truthful, it kind of gets a bit lost at a couple of points. Like others have pointed out, the dark twisted aspect of the original book do not quite come across to the screen, but nevertheless is a very passable transition. In summary, not one to watch for your main film on a Saturday night, but certainly worth a look on any other night.
