It's an absorbing, atmospheric noir with nice little touches.

This undermarketed noir suffers because many of its characters don't seem to belong in the same universe.

Admirers of the cast or of Bob Rafelson would do all concerned parties a very good deed by not witnessing their combined embarrassment.

... just a ridiculous story that layers one ridiculous, silly, contrivance after another.

A dull, stolid attempt at a contemporary film noir, clumsily constructed and loaded with bad hard-boiled dialogue, slack direction and stilted acting...a no good movie.

For all the talent on screen, no one has much chemistry.
