Which City Limits?, 3 April 2006
6/10
Author: vitachiel from Netherlands

It's always difficult for me to find fault with this sort of film. What you see here is simply people making an effort to produce a decent movie.

The story is pretty weak, but at least you can amuse your self with some divergent subplots. The low-quality cinematography was not in the way - except for one of the earlier shots where the hand-held camera drifted me out of the film and into home video. The acting was good and some of the dialogues were very real. The scenes with Field and Esposito were amazingly well-played and Kinski was rather cool.

The film's ending was one of the worst I have ever seen.
