This reminded me of an old Film Noir style plot.
Was this film a direct copy of any such plot, does anyone know?
Or was it just an 'homage' to that style of 1940s-ish Hollywood plot-line?
It was a good film and kept you thinking. Though had its flaws, as some of the details as why characters were doing what they did could have been filled out.
Denzel Washington nicely underplayed this role, with none of the histrionics a lesser actor could have used to portray the stress he was under (i.e. with his character under such pressure) - bubbling but not boiling over.
And it was good to see Dean Cain in a 'bad guy' role!!
