Walter Hill' filmography is always engaging at first sight.Stirred up by a screenplay promising action, sex, betrayal and revenge, you sit on your couch and insert longingly your DVD.Cast is good,no technical flaws,New Orleans'heat, should be a great movie....well, i ended up unsatisfactory; not really frustrated, but in a longing-for-more position.Watching this film helped me whiling away the time, but i won't watch it again, because it lacked elation.Two actors save this flick and owe the credits for not turning it into a B-movie. Ellen Barkin plays so well a hell of bitch and Morgan Freeman portrays effectively and jubilantly a cynical cop.As for Mickey Rourke, i don't know what to say for his acting as his role requests almost no acting, wearing a mask on his face for half the movie....
