(Flash Review)

Wow! This was something else. The most demented, crazy and alluring performance goes actress Lena Olin who stole every scene from the amazing Gary Oldman and easily out-intensified him with is a huge achievement. She was wild!!! Insane, ruthless and manic also work. Gary Oldman plays a slimeball cop who is cheating on his wife and also working for the Mafia; quite the double whammy. He's able to hold things together until he ordered to kill this insane female Russian gangster. Will he find the path for survival and to keep his marriage as his worlds mush together? This film has many intense, dramatic and memorable scenes under the guise of a Neo-Noir. Oldman's character's weaknesses shine through as he gets trapped in his own duplicity.
