i've seen this film a couple of times, and all i can say is that it is atmospheric and really enjoyable.
What about the movie?It's an excellent entertaining flick.Two tremendous leads nicolas cage and dennis hopper not to mention the mean faced bad guy always played by JT walch, such a great casting there, this actor fits the bill 100% as a bad guy, a town sheriff in this one.
I called this crime movie a "neo noir" because it's gritty and the all the characters are no good. Even the only supposed-good guy, played by Nicholas Cage,gets himself in trouble by lying and has a quick affair he should't have.Speaking of "bad guys," does anyone do it better than Dennis Hopper? Not many. At least in the "deranged" category, and jt walch gives a great performance.
The plot twists are top-notch, and one of the other great twists in this movie is that some of the supporting characters actually act as if they have brains.
all in all i have to say the direction was really great in this, giving mood to each scene, and u feel like u live in red rock, the scenery makes u feel u know the place.
recommended for any neo noir fan.
