Reviews
This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
I'll tell you why so serious
Good movie but grossly overrated
Absolutely Brilliant!
I LOVED this movie. You can't buy it, rent it, or find it... but it's a keeper.Wonderful chemistry between Braccho and Walken... and Ferrar....Terrific non stop action and reactions.... loved it.I've watched my pirated copy maybe 6 times in the last decade... each time showing it to someone who never heard of it.Find this movie and watch it. So many films are on TV over and over again - without any of the wit and style of this little film.I didn't know it was made for TV... my copy is an 8 track I pirated years ago... I hope it lasts.
Finding this piece sandwiched between a stale prequel and a rehashed 80s machomovie on a UPN affiliate's midday Saturday program would be misleading. It deserves better and definitely uses its talented leads' best attributes to its maximum advantage. Bracco and Walken team to provide a movie that while perhaps predictable to those familiar with their genre, do the streetwise, 'troubled minds' routine that they are so good at portraying. For a chance to ride a psychological roller coaster a la Fuqua's "Training Day," dive back into the world of early '90s TV movies to find "Scam"!
It's strange how the least known movies sometimes end up amongst the best you've seen. This movie has all the elements of a standard modern day thriller, guns, techno, baddies, cash, etc, and yet it stands out from your average Hollywood also-ran. I would credit this to two very charismatic people. Christopher Walken has a cool confidence and Lorraine Bracco is one of the warmest and sexiest women I've ever seen on screen. Another major reason why this film stands out is coz the setting shifts to Jamaica after the beginning. The Jamaican resort is so beautiful you'll wish you were there sitting by the pool at night, with a Run'n'Coke. . . .I know I did. I'm very glad I saw this movie - it was just too nice to miss!
The Amazon.com site tells me that this excellent film is no longer being distributed. Poor sales, I suppose, too bad. I picked up my copy at a for sale cheap table at a supermart.It's always a pleasure to see Ms. Brocco, the psychiatrist from the HBO Sopranos at work. She is attractive and sexy, albeit a bit stoop shouldered.
