I have a habit of briefly skimming over the descriptions of a movie on the reverse side of the box, so when I rented it, I thought I was renting a supernatural thriller (the box cover itself looks to have a supernatural aspect to it). Well, it was not even close.
But still, it was a watchable movie. It was interesting seeing the gritty underworld of the city, especially since I'm from a small town of 15 - 16,000 people. Peter Weller performed quite well, although I enjoyed his performances more in the Robocop movies and Screamers. Balthazar Getty also did a bang-up job as well as a former druggie and alcoholic. One question though: how in the world was this character able to snag a wife like Rebecca Gayheart??!! That part, I must say, seems unrealistic and/or unfair.
All in all, it was a watchable movie, but I probably would never watch it twice. Oh, and for all of you homophobic guys out there, this movie has a few scenes of male strippers in it. Blech!
