Jimmy the Saint’s business is videotaping the terminally-ill, so that they will be around to give ‘Afterlife Advice’ to their survivors. He hasn’t been doing too well lately and has had to turn to loan-sharks to accomodate his failing business, as well as his expensive personal tastes. When an evil gangster-overlord buys up his note and demands a favor of Jimmy, in exchange for the interest that he can’t afford, Jimmy capitulates. Jimmy is to scare someone for the gangster-overlord—really rough them up. Without giving too much away (spoiler), the scene goes down badly and Jimmy and his crew all end up with contracts on their heads for their trouble. —IMDb
I am absolutely in love with this movie and have been for a long time. Tied with L.A. Confidential for the top spot in brain and heart. In short, it's the bitch's bastard.
Paralelamente al exito de Quentin Tarantino,surgieron una buena cantidad de copiones intentando emular los logros de aquel con guiones llenos de gangsters,humor negro,violencia estilizada y dialogos "ocurrentes". Esta cinta de Gary Fleder es un buen (mal) ejemplo de ello. Algunas situaciones resultan mas o menos ingeniosas,pero en general,solo sirvio para regresar momentaneamente de entre los muertos a Treat Williams
Andy Garcia is extremely good, the direction rocks and so does the script, Cristopher Walken is the Devil himself and Steve Buscemi (<3<3<3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)is just...MEFISTO!
