    The film shrewdly humanizes its protagonists to the point where the audience forgets their identity and roots for them to succeed - and survive.
  2. 60
    It's fine acting of - and chemistry - between Paxton, Margulies and Mark Wahlberg that gives this film (written by Jim McGlynn, directed by Jack Green) its kick.
  3. 30
    The movie lacks any sense of subcultural specificity, though it has a superabundant country music score. [22 Apr 1997]
