Director Phil Joanou making like an Irish Scorsese: low-level hoods in Hell's Kitchen (a gentrified Hell's Kitchen now called Clinton), locked together in fuck-you-fuck-you-too repartee, and suffocated in smoky blue atmosphere. Sean Penn (with another new hairdo: black shoe polish and sideburns) is well under control as an undercover cop, but Gary Oldman as his stubbly-chinned, stringy-haired boyhood chum keeps going for the moon -- and getting no higher than a streetlamp. With Ed Harris and Robin Wright. (1990) — Duncan Shepherd
