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.

Fun watching
Alec Baldwin has a great role as a connman who uses a rather simple prostitute as a cover for his deeds.He steals an investigators gun, badge and bizarely his false teeth too and plays at being a policeman for a bit, before robbing to keep his lifestyle going. The first time I watched it I thought it was crap, but then I tried it again and really enjoyed it. Well worth sticking with it on reflection.
