"Interesting neo-noir, I think more people should see it, they may be surprised.

I like discovering these types of movies. It's flawed, but it's in the pure tradition of noir. Low-budget b-movies, made by the original independent production company (Republic Pictures, dating back to the 30's and the low-budget westerns, serials and crime-dramas of that era).

1994 was their last year (well, they relaunched in 1986, after being inactive in the 60's and 70's), so this is perhaps among the last movie they made: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_Pictures

In a way, a nice conclusion to this always minor independent studio's history. Now part of Viacom/Paramounth. "
