Could have been better

This was not "craptacular" and I think it suffered primarily from a bad screen writer. Aiden Quinn, Peter Coyote, and James Spader are good actors and I do believe it was the material that they had to work with that was limiting. Coyote was restricted to a blathering drunk, Aiden was wasted sitting behind a desk smoking cigars (I winced when he used the word "getaway car" as he I imagined he must have), and Spader (appeared to me anyway) as doing the best he could do with his role and having some fun with it. He does do the steel eyed villain perfectly. It was the scenery of Spokane, Washington that stole the movie here. I enjoyed the scenery and the old buildings that were used throughout. Kudos to the individual who chose the locations for this movie because it was what helped make the dreary script passable.

Overall, this is the kind of movie you can watch on a rainy day and you are looking for something to watch on TV that happens to be one the moment you are channel surfing. It wasn't dreary to watch nor was it boring. I can see why there was no massive release. I think the studio just wanted to get this clunker out of the way onto the DVD market.
