October 28, 2007Despite the lovely locations, a nice car chase sequence, cool soundtrack, and even a top-class cast, this movie is somehow missing something. I think the storyline could have been improved.

April 18, 2011Almost every character in this is unlikeable. Crooked, cheating, lying, manipulating, greedy people. Throw in confusing love, sex, and allegiance shifting. Some good location photography and twisty plot helps to stay the distance.

January 3, 2011When a gangster hires an ex-football player to find his girlfriend, things are never what they appear to be. A remake of the 1947 film "Out of the Past", this version comes with to many plot twists and not enough answers. A great cast and story of love and betrayal will keep ever... read more

Taylor Hackford's impressively mounted film noir is well acted by the central triangle: Jeff Bridges, James Woods, and the sexy Rachel Ward. Full Review
