7/10

A true attention-getter of a film.

Excellent adult thriller. Stylish, intense, funny and unexpectedly moving. Intricately plotted (it will always be one step ahead of you) and fluidly, inventively directed (including a unique twist on Eastwood's classic "Did I fire six bullets...or only five?" line). Well-acted, especially by Kilmer. The less you know about it beforehand the better, though, so I'll just add this: this film is not always pleasant to watch, but it has personality and will take you on quite a journey. Don't read about it, see it. (***)

Trivia
Vincent D'Onofrio purposefully developed a bad and uneven suntan, gained a significant amount of weight, bleached his hair, and wore improperly fitting skateboard apparel. When he reported to the set, he arrived in character.

Goofs
Near the end of the movie when Kilmer is having the Smith & Wesson .357 Combat Magnum pointed at him by the cop he just wounded (the same cop he will stick in the neck with the hypodermic needle) he has an image of the gun dealer asking him if 8 or 9 rounds have come out of the Smith & Wesson .357 Model 19 Combat Magnum revolver, he then counts the shots throughout the gun battle and can't remember if it was 8 or 9.

A Smith & Wesson Model 19 Combat Magnum only holds six rounds.

Quotes
Bobby: Excuse me. I don't mean to impose, but I am the Ocean.
