Entertainment Reviews:
Although Chinatown writer Towne lovingly depicts the Depression-era LA setting (actually shot in South Africa), the film misfires.

Time Out
Towne recreates the era in loving detail....Caleb Deschanel's rich, dark cinematography adds to the sense that this is not intended as a realistic portrayal of LA.
Sight and Sound
Rating: 2/5 --
It is a odd-sounding, odd-looking piece of work, not uninteresting by any means, but there is something a little forced in both lead performances.

Rating: 62/100 --
Donald Sutherland saunters onscreen, momentarily raising the level of the film, before he ambles back out the door and things sink back down to the listless and pointless pace that typifies this jumbled mess of a movie.
Apollo Guide
Something is missing, though. The themes are all there, but the movie doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier and rev you up.

Farrell and costar Salma Hayek have rarely been so affecting, or so effective, as self-hating ethnics who find love.

Product Description:
From the director of CHINATOWN comes a tale of small-town dreams and big-city challenges. Colin Farrell plays a down-and-out writer in 1930s L.A. who dreams of making it big, and Salma Hayek plays his lover, a waitress who also wants to rise above her station.
