Evil isn't always found where one expects it to be, 22 June 1999
10/10
Author: anonymous from Charlottesville, VA

An excellent adaptation of Richard Hughes' novel. Quinn and Coburn have never been better, and they are well-served by a fine supporting cast. Evil has never been more banal than it is in this fine film.
