Entertainment Reviews:

New York Times - 02/11/1994

"...[Basinger and Baldwin's] appeal as a couple of gorgeous outlaws is the main reason to see this sleek, entertaining remake....[The stars] have the wit and unabashed vanity to give this update a cynical 90's flavor..."

Variety - 02/14/1994

"...Baldwin fills the bill perfectly well....Madsen fashions a villain you love to hate..."

Los Angeles Times - 02/11/1994

"...A perfectly respectable thriller....As crisp and efficient as the crime it depicts..."

Product Description:

A remake of the 1971 film based on Jim Thompson's novel. A woman sleeps with a sleazy gangster to get her bank robber husband out of jail, promising to do another bank job for him. When they are doublecrossed, they flee the mob and the cops while questioning their own loyalty to each other. The unrated version includes a steamier scene with Basinger and Baldwin.

Plot Synopsis:

A high-powered remake of Sam Peckinpah's 1972 version of the Jim Thompson crime novel. Bank robber Doc McCoy, is sprung from a Mexican jail, through the efforts of his wife Carol, for services to be rendered in a complicated heist. However, the job turns out be a double-cross, and the two are forced to keep one step ahead of a mobster's hired gun in order to make it across the border into Mexico for safety.
