Amazon.com video review:
Neither director William Friedkin nor star David Caruso could
redeem this vulgar, nasty script by Joe Eszterhas. Caruso is a
politically ambitious assistant D.A. investigating the gruesome murder
of a San Francisco bigwig. Too many clues point in the direction of his
former girlfriend (Linda Fiorentino), a shrink who has a secret sideline
as call girl to the rich and kinky. For good measure, she's now married
to Caruso's best friend, Chazz Palminteri. Friedkin has done much better
work in other places; even he can't perform much magic here, though he
tries, with a solid car chase (that suffers in comparison to
those he staged in French Connection and To Live and Die in
L.A.). --Marshall Fine
