Viewing Notes

I remember this movie cementing Ron Silver as a great white guy psycho character and I don’t think I ever watched another movie with him in it and not thinking of him in this role. This movie feels very much like it’s bridging two different eras of filmmaking while managing to be representative of both. Not Bigelow’s finest outing as a director but it’s still a fun watch.
