"A gory and gorgeous cop thriller" | ||||
"Mann takes all the instincts he learned as a Miami Vice producer and trims them of their excesses, and the result is an unsettling thriller whose detached style perfectly complements its psychological intensity" | ||||

"One of the most impressive American thrillers of the late '80s." | ||||
