The OST artwork is probably the best thing about this film.
Not memorable. And considering it contains Morgan Freeman and it is me saying this, that says a lot. Put it this way, I watched this film about a week ago and I can’t even remember how it ends. I remember finding Forrest Whitaker’s character annoying, and thinking that he looked a lot like a huge bumblebee with that fuzzy beard; I remember thinking that Morgan can do much better than this; I remember thinking that Lance Henriksen was rather reptilian… Oh and I thought, ‘Mickey Rourke is big’. Not in a metaphorical or transcendental sense, just in the ‘he is quite tall’ sense. This is, of course, rather a bizarre thing to remember, as just having looked it up, he is only 5’ 11”. Anyway, Walter Hill has made much better films than this. See them instead.
