Directed by Tony Scott (Enemy of the State, The Hunger, Top Gun) made an excellent, clever, funny thriller with romance. Excellent performances from the cast, including the late Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Micheal Rapaport, Bronson Pinchot, Brad Pitt, Saul Rubinek, Chris Penn, Tom Sizemore, Samuel L. Jackson and James Gandolfini. This wasn't a huge success at the box office but it did receive great Creviews by Critics and it become a Cult classic on video.
