Review: "Reputability wasn't our strong point."

Laura and Sam like film noir, that moody ambience of people caught in compulsions and powers beyond their control.  It is 1986 in Miami and South Beach is a world of the homeless and decrepit.  They like to play the roles of the tragic as a game.  Targets of death squads and their pursuers lurk in the shadows.  So when the chance to play a role in the drama appears, Laura is drawn deeply into the plot.  We are drawn in also, and the plot carries us to the last word.  This is a beautifully crafted story.  It makes me want to wear a dress like Lauren Bacall and skulk around for a while...
