Excellent over the top female performance by Lindsay Crouse
I came across this movie two weeks while flipping channels, and I must say although Mickey Rourke role is a similar demonic gangster role that he has
done well over the years, I was astounded by acting performance of Lindsay Crouse. I had never seen a 'over-the top dominant' female in the role of a
police detective,,,except for TV's Cagney & Lacey, and Kathleen Turner. After
this movie I am surprised she did not reach star status. Acting legend Anthony
Hopkins was excellent in this movie, and most definitly copied some of Mickey
Rourke's demonic acting style for his later 'Silence of the Lambs' 2 years later. Several other actors including Mimi Rogers..gave superb performances as
well.
