It has little in common with its predecessors.Its about negotiation more than deception, money more than love.

All three characters were your basic Hollywood movie cardboard cutouts, but still, the actors all managed to pull off some decent performances.

Unsentimental, non glamorized, and unclouded by the usual overlay of rose colored nostalgia, this is a raw but rewarding motion picture.

...a briskly paced and handsomely shot endeavor that benefits quite substantially from its uniformly strong performances...

Rather vanilla methodology, it is extremely effective nonetheless.

Davis weaves a gorgeously lush film, charged with high tension, but the listless script renders his efforts alarmingly mundane.
