Why is this even in my queue? I don't remember.

Oh god, boxing. Is this a boxing film?

Ohhh… Rachel Ward. Dead Men don't Wear Plaid. Maybe that's why?

82% on Rotten Tomatoes too. Huh.

It's a noir that seems like it might be in the vein of The Last Seduction. A crazy boxer? Well, maybe not so much with the seduction.

Rachel Ward was the closest thing the 80s had to Lauren Bacall. She gets all the great noir dialog, everyone seems like they're in the late 80s but her. The story feels like it belongs in the 40s, though.

How does a woman so thin and young have such a deep, husky voice? It almost seems like that voice can’t possibly be coming out of her.

Pretty good noir, if a little bright and sunny for one.

I like Roger Ebert, and even when I don't agree with his reviews I can see where he's coming from. Not this time though, I can't even begin to see why it was on his Great Movies list. None of the characters' motivations made any sense, and I can honestly say I couldn't find even one good moment in the movie. It wasn't even remarkable enough to be entertaining, it was just a waste of time.

[All time 34] One of my favorite neo-noirs. I loved the direction - lots of good camera angles and camera movement. Surprising the director never did anything good again. I liked Jason Patric’s playing crazy. I don’t know why he wasn’t a bigger star. He’s got the look and apparently the acting chops. I also liked Rachel Ward’s voice. Her voice is really deep in a cool way. I would also like to read more about the final scene. I think I like what it was going for.

I liked this movie. Huh? I'm not really sure why, it isn't a very good movie, but I really liked it for some reason or another. It's about a seemingly "slow" ex boxer drifter who meets a woman and gets involved in a kidnapping plot. I really liked Jason Patric's character(the drifter), but I think it was more than that. It's based on a book, so it suffers from some of the problems many of these films do, but it doesn't necessarily hurt the film. Sort of like American Psycho, it adds a mysterious layer that I didn't mind. It's also kind of corny in some areas, but again, I didn't mind. Anyway, I'm tired, I just wanted to give this a quick review. I happened to catch it on IFC last night and started to watch, finished it up earlier this evening. I'd recommend it
