“…a knowing and literate script by Jay Zaretsky, and the slick direction of Michael Caton-Jones, this is a sparkling black diamond of film noir… Director Caton-Jones and screenwriter Zaretsky nimbly blend storylines about violence and betrayal within the ranks of Jewish gangsters with the domestic drama”
Los Angeles Times.
“Journeyman director Michael Caton-Jones and screenwriter Jay Zaretsky — in close collaboration with Perlman — have created a character here who’s very reminiscent of literary pulp antiheroes like Donald Westlake’s Parker, except more weathered and sympathetic.”
Hollywood Reporter
“The screenplay by Jay Zaretsky carefully balances its central character’s personal and professional crises.”
