One of a rash of inferior 1990s crime stories inspired by Reservoir Dogs, and featuring NYPD Blue's David Caruso as a criminal who seeks vengeance when his lover flees with the proceeds of their bungled diamond robbery. Kelly Lynch (playing a character called Jude Law!) is pretty good in her tough role, but Caruso's no Michael Madsen or Harvey Keitel — he just hasn't got the acting mettle to convince as a hard man. Writer/director John Ridley covers pretty similar ground to his script for Oliver Stone's U Turn, but on this occasion it's hard to care who wins the back-stabbing battle of the sexes.
