08/31/2019 Saw this when it came out in 1993 and it left a lasting impression. In fact, it left me scarred for life. It's a movie of the type I can only call "Hilariously Bad." I'm pretty sure my eyes were bleeding by the time it ended. See more 11/26/2015 What is justice? No really, what is it? This movie doesn't know. This is another movie where Drew Barrymore writes in her diary and reads it aloud for no reason. It makes me want to sign up for a creative writing class. Her character's name is Tinsel Handley, she's eligible for witness protection when her ballerina sister is killed, and this feels a lot like Murder She Wrote fan fiction. As expected, a ballerina can take demeaning misogyny, female slavery, and a full-frontal boob stabbing like a champ. Also as expected, Kris Kristofferson's grizzly presence as a detective-on-the-rocks with a female partner manages to be more misogynistic than the ballerina killer. Whoa, Martin Landau is here, and he's a police captain wondering who will keep doling out justice in the next generation. Is Kris the answer? Sure, this sounds like the voice of justice: Kris to Drew as Tinsel, "14? You look like a 30-year-old hooker." Did I mention how Kristofferson is shitty at his job? But, they want us to go easy on Kris because we learn in a poorly edited flashback that his wife and daughter were killed in a car collision with a drunk driver. That's why it's okay that he leaves a wheel-chair bound O.J. Simpson wielding a hammer in charge of baby-sitting Drew. As Drew's character says, "I'd laugh, but I'm out of practice." There's a scene where Kris brings her to a bar and forces her to dance. When she refuses, he grabs a stranger and commands him to dance with her as he sits at the bar drinking and staring like he's missing his dead daughter, his dead wife, maybe both? Definitely both. Yeah, both. Tagline: When Ace of Base was cool, Drew Barrymore was cooler. When murderers were cruel, Kris Kristofferson was crueler. Alternative tagline: Drew Barrymore has no place to hide from Kris Kristofferson. See more 06/20/2012 I have seen these B4 but It's good to see it again See more 09/07/2011 Great Kris Kristofferson. See more 06/24/2011 A total train wreck. The only redeeming feature of this movie is that OJ Simpson is brutally slain by a crazy vigilante. How did Martin Landau ever get involved with this project?! See more 04/17/2011 A mildly entertaining cliche ridden story. See more Read all reviews
