One of the greatest performances by one of our finest Actors.


Andy Garcia.

It's a shame this movie didn't get more attention. His performance is Oscar worthy.

It´s a powerhouse performance of the higest order....dude hits all the right notes,the increasing desperation,his voice cracking,desperately trying to save his buddies...magic,his best role IMO.

His career along with Liottas,it´s just....a damn shame,they should´ve could´ve, would´ve been household names. In the sense that certain actors puts actors in the seats,naturally;If one doesn´t know who Andy Garcia is,one does not know much about cinema.

PS. I think William Forsythe´s presence in this film is overlooked,a dude who built a career on psychos and cops is here the most realistic,down to earth dude in a film with fascinating,cool but not always relatable characters;clipping him off-screen sucked in one way but came outta nowhere and pissed me off in a good way. Plus the name,Francis Chyser=Franchise...it´s cool,I like it.
