Flawed, but worth checking out
1 March 2005
A vehicle for Richard Gere where he gets to play the heavy. He does it quite well. He is able to exude that sense of menace with small gestures and expressions. Andy Garcia plays his role earnest, earnest, earnest. He's pretty good here, too. I really liked Nancy Travis. She does very well with a supporting role, and of course, is absolute eye-candy. She had a lot of big roles around this time, and seems to have faded away. Too bad. I'd like to see more of her.

I liked this movie pretty well, in spite of some fairly large plot holes, and characters behaving, well, uncharacteristically. If you look beyond the flaws, there are things to like here.
