Not sure if V already reviewed this one, but I know of his love for Noir style dramas....
Definitely a throwback to the noirs of old, ambitious lawyer gets manipulated by crazy sexy ex-girlfriend who later turns up dead and he goes on the run. Pacino and Hopkins sleepwalk through roles they have already played dozens of times. It feels like the director is mimicking DePalma who is mimicking Hitchcock in terms of style but not always succeeding. A diverting B-movie, though very predictable and instantly forgettable. Though I did enjoy the retro-Hitchcockian music score.
