“If you haven't seen this movie, holy fucking shit, this movie. What I heard– A rumor about this film is this is the movie that made wetdowns a thing.”

“It's a good example of a movie that works predominantly because of the power of the lead performance and the power of the score and how well it supports the visual image. James Caan plays a thief and you just can't take your eyes off it — the electronica music, the rain, the visual images, all very powerful.”
