Jadedly facetious film noir, featuring candied photography, pretzelled plotting, "ironic" musical selections, a cynical quipster ("I don't trust anybody over ten who listens to The Sound of Music") and a sanctimonious straight man as cop partners. All very studied and superficial. No emotional undertow. No ripple, for that matter, of authentic mirth: hardly surprising when you consider that this is the first time in six films (The Killing Fields, The Mission, Fat Man and Little Boy, City of Joy, and The Scarlet Letter) that director Roland Joffé has tried to be even slightly funny (though he succeeded without trying in that last one). Patricia Arquette, Dermot Mulroney, Don Johnson, Mary-Louise Parker, Ellen DeGeneres, Ray McKinnon. (1999) — Duncan Shepherd
