10/10

It came out in '93 when I was 13 and seriously got addicted to the moody mystery thrillers. I mean, I grew up in a house that fostered a love for pulp fiction novels, Sabitini, Leonard, Howard, Hammett, and these movies kind of fall right into those novels. And this had a great cast, Elwes, Silverstone, Rubin, so the film was cast in a way that it could save whatever trash the script was lacking in. And in this case it's plot turns and mystery that it's lacking. The story itself is honestly pretty boring. And I don't fault anyone that objects to that. However, it has enough tension to really enjoy it. The acting is great. It really sets the mood in the right places. It's only when it comes down to the script itself where it fails, and even then the premise is interesting if it were done better.
