Fair cop drama trying its darnest to be a classic, but falling short. The actors from the stars to the unknowns overplay their parts and come across sterotyped and cartoonish. To make matters worse, the top stars are all grossly out of shape, puffy and paunchy and seem to be huffing and puffing through every edited fight scene. Chris Penn at 31 was already packing on the pounds and it is truly sad to see this talented actor falling apart. Nolte seems out of breath the entire film and screams more then he acts. Disappointing film. Only of interest to die hard fans.
