What a farce, nothing but misery except for the first fifteen minutes. Plot is as cliché as it can be. The makers probably discovered this about 1/4 of the way through the shooting period and decided not to develop it any further. Chaos.

In itself a nice noir-ish story about a tough man who falls for a femme fatale, with Nick Nolte who fits well in that atmosphere and the beautiful Debra Winger who goes all out, but the exaggerated and exalted way in which the latter's character behaving from the first second should be enough reason for the first person to run away screaming. The film then gets stuck in vague scenes, unclear motivations, half-completed characters, staged outbursts of anger and a bizarre deus ex machina (or rather truck ex machina), and I just couldn't stand the murder case. nor show any interest in the characters. Only at the end does some light come into the film, when Angela describes the feeling on the beach "that everything is possible and impossible at the same time. [...] This is what I live with all the time ", but by then it's far too late. It is unclear how this failure could have come from the pen of one of the greatest American playwrights of the twentieth century.
