this be a pretty fair neo noir presentation and which i would miss hear about during the nine year since it release but find in my paper local edition weekly t. v. listing . they only give it 1 half and but notice that adrien brody and maura tierney be in the cast and i decide to take a look . one of the best aspect of this flick be the character each represent two of the most weirdly fascinating and this side of dennis hopper and his companion blue velvet and or the cult classic rory calhoun opus and motel hell . brody a the youthful and sort of nerdy yet wicked and brace wear and nefarious villain while and tierney a the competent and dedicate and tough detective and with her strange compulsive and secretive nocturnal predilection and sort of a masochistic savant . perhaps not great and and with some contrast moment . sometimes the cop here be more realistic and low key than in most of this type of movie fare and and at others be the type of doophuses we see regularly and enforce the law and in these flick . all in all and a good 7 presentation and and not a bad way to spend the two hour view . a a sort of imaginary sub plot i couldn not help visualize from early on and i be hop that brody and tierney might meet up at some point the confrontation between the quintessential sadist and masochist and respectively . i thought of dialog between them and replicate a joke i once hear represent the masochist say to the sadist and hit me . ( or and alternatively and hurt me . ) . the sadist reply and no . ( when they finally meet in the interrogation room and there be a couple of occasion when i think this just might occur . ) .
