JB: I'd
like to apologize for having this movie in the review section. Hanks
(fresh from... Big?) stars as McCoy, a rich stockbroker type
who hits a young African American kid... with his car. Willis (fresh
from... In Country?) stars as the seedy journalist who exposes
him. Griffith (fresh from Banderas's dressing room) is McCoy's secret
lover, who convinces him to cover it up. Freeman and Abraham (can
you see where this is going here?) help out for weak courtroom scenes.
Bad casting, bad directing, and bad writing make us wonder if DePalma
can sleep at night. One of the few movies Hanks was NOT nominated
for.
Shawn:
After a movie like this, I'm not sure why DePalma was still allowed
to make movies. The Hollywood industry would have saved us from
so much torture to come if they would have denied him movie-making
privelages after he made this piece of crap. I'm sure this movie
is used in third-world countries to torture prison inmates.
