K: I watched this twice in one week and something about this movie could not hold my attention. Which is either the fault of its convoluted plot or my refusal to remember character names or listen to important dialogue. PROS: young Willem Defoe is a great creepy bad guy, he’s not only a counterfeit mastermind but a lover of Fine Arts. At the beginning we see him setting his own painting on fire and then later he’s attending an interpretive dance performance. And yes he counterfeits bills via silkscreen printing, DIY BABY…! Other pros are Wang Chung doing the soundtrack, well paced action scenes, violence is rightfully gritty and succinct, and a refreshing amount of male nudity for this kind of movie including a full hog :0!!!! really surprised me.
T: Willem Dafoe makes a big splash in this cop movie with Real Verified dick shadow. This movie is so damn confusing. Karissa watched it twice but I only saw it once, I think I may have to rewatch it to actually understand it a bit better. I will admit that the scene near the end with Willem Dafoe sitting in a warehouse full of burning art is genuinely scary. Plenty of vroom vroom bang bang scenes in this film to get your motor running so you can both live and die in La.
