Viewed at VET, Helsinki, on Tuesday, 9 September 1997. *** Los Angeles, mid-1950s. Mickey Cohen goes to jail. The fight for the gangland throne starts. Two young LAPD cops first clash with one another, then join forces to fight corruption. The narrative is thrilling. Two strong new Australian actors lead, established stars carry supporting roles. We are asked to regard Kim Basinger ”a Veronica Lake lookalike”. The action is violent, the tempo often laid-back.
