    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.

    Not at all blue

    A good film, action right from the offset.

    Funny bits, Sexy bits, Violent bits.

    Jennifer Jason Leigh, you got to she her in the buff...you will in this movie.

    Baldwin... this guy plays a real good part as a proper Psycho, but whats with the hair style.

    Get it, worth it i`d say.
