Standout Aspects

Acting

Rickman and Thompson treating this B-thriller like it's Shakespeare.

Production

New Orleans humidity practically drips off the screen.

Best for:Solo: Late night when you miss 90s direct-to-video energy with A-list actors slumming it.·Rewatch: Spotting every actor who deserved better than this delicious mess.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Carla Gugino's character uses seduction as weapon; some explicit scenes.·Violence: Sudden gun violence, including the opening assassination.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Sebastian Gutierrez wrote this in his early 20s and somehow landed Rickman and Thompson for his debut. Hollywood nepotism who?

Cultural

This bombed so hard it became a cable staple, arguably inventing the 'prestige actors in trash' streaming algorithm that now rules Netflix.
