Viewing Notes
Finally managed to secure this on Blu-ray for a decent price, considering it’s out of print. This is one of the few Walter Hill films I didn’t own and I’d been wanting to revisit it for a while now.
Still a mess of a movie, though not terrible. You can see Hill’s hands all over this even though he (rightly) disavowed the final cut of the film. I’d love to see his director’s cut of this.
Notably this version is missing the manufactured sex scene between Spader and Bassett which is really just edited footage of another cut sex scene between different characters where they color graded Tunney’s skin to make it look like a darker Bassett. So dumb. Studios are dumb.
