Wow, that Cynda Williams is really, really hot. What on earth was she doing with Thornton? Oh, yeah, good for her career. Anyway, she does a fine job in this film, as do most of the rest of the cast. We all know Billy Bob Thornton can do sniveling evil, and he does it to good effect here. Michael Beach does a good change from his TV personae, and Bill Paxton pulls off his part pretty well. The whole film is racially charged, sometimes explicitly, and sometimes not. Perhaps this is to be expected in a film with six main characters, three black, and three white. Only some of the minor cops seemed unreal, like the Texas trooper who was obvious cannon fodder. Overall, this film is worth seeing, surprisingly good for a flick I'd never heard of until I taped it from cable. Grade: B-
