A 90's-style noir that lacks the moodiness and clean story-telling of the great 40's and 50's noir but with loads of gore and violence yet not enough action to be consistently entertaining.
Lena Olin's deliciously over the top performance as a psycho mafia hitwoman is a highlight of the film.
The plot is rather convoluted and doesn't make much sense when you think about it; all the crosses and double-crosses seem entirely unnecessary to achieve the characters' endgame. The cinematography is too bright and sunny to be a true noir, I believe.
The site wouldn't let me post this without at least 10 lines of text. This is ridiculous. I've seen reviews with fewer lines than that. Sorry to pad this review to achieve the mandatory 10 lines.
