Synopsis

A somewhat messy adaptation of Norman Mailer’s novel, with Whitman as the ruthless TV commentator who implies that the cops are in the pay of the Mob, only to find himself winding up on a murder charge. It would like to be nightmarish, instead it’s just tediously violent. —Timeout.com

Overheated melodrama based on the novel by Norman Mailer gets off to a strong, histrionic start, but then peters out into dull talkiness. The cast is strong and the atmosphere is slick, but the story and characters just never follow through enough to be compelling.
