Having watched this on the fabulous 4k criterion edition twice so far, I can very happily conclude that this gripping Noir thriller from black director Carl Franklin hooked me in on many levels.
With superb performances, especially from Bill Paxton and Cynda Williams ( who balances her lost, emotionally vulnerable character who gets caught up with the wrong people in the wrong situation perfectly).
For me it also has an emotional punch which brought a tear to my eye on more than one occasion. This emotional depth which comes more into the second half is what sets this superb, tightly knit thriller apart from the usual mundane Hollywood thriller fare which was abundant at the time.
