Sultry, sleazy and caring, all at once. Superb.

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 1999)

Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe and Kim Basinger have equal weight here. All three are superb, but Kim takes it for me.
After her troubles in recent years, this is one heck of a comeback movie!
This will be remembered with some of the Bogart-Bacall movies in a few years, and so it should.
Sleaze sharing the screen with honour and integrity will always make a good movie when it is done well, but this is better than merely good.
