    It really needed a good soundtrack

    Plenty of twists and turns, and some excellent visuals, but it really needed good music to bring it all together. You have Adam Ant and you don't have a good sound track... tragic.

    A very strong cast, well acted, with a good script, and really enjoyable. I should have like to see more Virginia Madsen and more of that snappy 1960 Buick.
