User Reviews

Classic direction, if you haven't seen it... watch it next. Rewatchablity is sure up there on this one. Just put it on my list again.

Simple and effective thriller from ever resourceful and innovative Soderbergh.

Good solid crime movie with a good lead actor. Told in a somewhat non-linear fashion.

A taut early crime film from Steven Soderbergh with an intriguing lead performance from Terence Stamp

Just another solid film within the Steven Soderbergh filmography.

This is a great, underappreciated mobster flick.

Finnegan Cleary

The interaction between Terence Stamp and Peter Fonda holds this neo-noir together - beyond that the plot is predictable.

Steven Soderburgh on fine form and Terrence Stamp blowing it out of the water.

Stylish&trippy neo-noir about a criminal seeking revenge for his daughter’s murder, told in an engaging manner that deepens the story&themes

Underrated fantastic crime drama movie from Soderbergh and Stamp is great in the lead role
