A mock film noir from Jim McBride who directed the remake of Breathless, with Kevin Anderson mistakenly thought to be a murderer — well, he's found standing over a dead body with a gun in his hand. On the run in Mexico, Anderson links up with married couple Rosanna Arquette and John Lithgow. Elements of Touch of Evil, Build My Gallows High and, especially, The Postman Always Rings Twice, hover over the plot as Anderson and Arquette take a shine to each other. By turns funny, tense and sexy, the cast is excellent and, despite its flaws, the picture which premiered at Cannes in 1993 deserved better than just an airing on American cable TV.
