Viewing Notes

Great to see so much use of Chicago, even in the scenes that are supposedly Washington D.C., but man is this really an artifact of its time. So much slipshod, who-cares-about-the-details, lack of attention paid to building any sort of realism into things. But that was how big movies like this were done in the late ‘80s and ‘90s.

I loved seeing Pam Grier in this, just wish her character had a little more screen time.
