Basic, bare-bones crime film about a double-crossed jewel thief with a score to settle ("I'm my own police"). John Irvin's no-nonsense direction is a little short of style (the credits sequence -- grainy black-and-white imagery of the snaky lines of L.A. freeways -- raises false expectations), but it pushes the action steadily onward, and even out into areas of broader social interest (African-American hoods, Chinese-American hoods), and Harvey Keitel in sunglasses certainly looks like he means business. With Stephen Dorff, Timothy Hutton, Wade Dominguez, and Famke Jansen. (1997) — Duncan Shepherd
