Viewing Notes

Another impromptu movie night in the Secret Cinema! Ron had just rec’d the new Criterion release for this film and I hadn’t seen it so it was a perfect pick. I’m impressed that Criterion put this in their collection. It’s such a sweaty, grimy early nineties crime thriller with a stellar performance from Laurence Fishburne and Jeff Goldblum doing his best Goldblum. Very entertaining movie!
