    Alec Baldwin has never been better than in his role here as a vicious ex-con who takes up with naive hooker Jennifer Jason Leigh in Miami. Things get complicated when he steals investigating cop Fred Ward's gun, badge and false teeth and sets about robbing and shooting just about everyone in his path, while masquerading as a police officer. An absorbing, gripping (and often very violent) battle of wits, this has some wonderfully dark comic moments and boasts three superb performances from the stars.

    Intelligent fight to the death

    Fred Ward's best film as the unlucky detective, great soundtrack. Stand up to repeated viewing.
