Damn, Criterion? I remember defending that film as a teenager for being a lot better than you thought it would be.... the US market was flooded with similar-looking films at the time. I think it got lumped in with "hood films" like Trespass, Juice, and South Central, all out the same year. For those looking for noir-inspired crime films, it got lost in the mix of Unlawful Entry, One False Move, and even Reservoir Dogs. Just too much going on that year....but I never imagined this would warrant Criterion status.
