Very straightforward gangstas in LA thriller, the one thing that stands out is that it looks very nice (shot by the cinematographer that Christian Bale shouted at). Curtis-Hall seems to be trying hard to make up for Glitter and although one or two visual gimmicks are a bit overdone (the camera wandering around Gibson and Good's noses, eyebrows and mouths as they tell their weepy backstories is just silly) he mostly pulls it off. Gibson is also not too bad, but the film itself is mostly boring and the villains are too cartoonish. Aside from its looks it seems truly straight to DVD, even though it wasn't, which sums up how interesting it is.
