A Brilliant Conflict

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This 'movie' feels more like a rejected pilot for a cop melodrama TV series in the likes of 'Hillstreet Blues' than a psychological thrillerWith it's overabundance of focus on 'the wrong things' like the police couple with drinking- and relationship problems becoming the main focus very often instead of the actual crime that most of us viewers tuned in forAnd it looks it as well, with cheap budget and limited sets The only thing that sticks out if just a little is Adrien Brody who's never bad but not even him can save this melodramatic drivelI liked Maura Tierny in the 'ER' series but she seriously has one facial expression through-out the whole movie, the 'I'm trying seriously not to start drinking again' depressed lookGive this one a pass

Just so poorly done! Amateur hour in the plot full of holes. Dialogue and action sequences (including the most dull car chase ever) from 1970s TV shows. Maura does the best to pout her way through but Adrian is hard to watch. None of the other characters feel remotely believable. The writing feels remarkably immature, including a too-long scene supposedly full of psychological revelation that simply doesn't work.Pacing leads nowhere and even at a brief 90 minutes we were wishing it were all over. Tried to get my wife to quit a number of times but she talked me into waiting through the end (which includes some astoundingly unrealistic developments and a supposed twist that left us laughing and wishing we hadn't wasted our time. Really a mess...

What a pleasant surprise for a (mostly) video-release movie. I checked it out due to Maura Tierney, who is so pretty and such a good actress. I think she would have been great in feature films, but I suppose her looks are more girl-next-door pretty, instead of supermodel pretty. She does very well here with an obviously damaged character. But then the film has Adrien Brody, from before his Oscar win, looking impossibly young, chewing the scenery with extreme gusto. Also Terry Kinney, playing his patented damaged cop. Sure, the film has some flaws, a few plot holes, and some odd minor characters. But for what it is, it is well worth a look.

That's the kind of movie you watch without too high expectations and then it totally blows you away, and you can't turn it off, and at the end you wish you could know what's going to happen now. The story is not really Award-worthy - young, brilliant criminal buries the wife of a rich man to get some money, and then he gets interrogated by a female cop. But the actors are just great - Adrien Brody shows his evil face and you got really scared of him, and Maura Tierney... We know that she can play, we saw it a thousand times at ER, but the role of the depressive, drinking cop seems to fit her absolutely perfect. You just have to watch her throwing her life away, getting pulled in that turmoil of herself deeper with every minute. You want to save her, but you know, even if you had the possibility to get to know her in real life, you couldn't, because in a sick way it fascinates you to just watch. And the chemistry between her and Brody is amazing - after the first meeting of both you are not able to turn this movie out. I loved it, it's my favorite movie, and whoever appreciates the talent of Maura Tierney, you will love it too...
