“A very strange film with a sterling cast.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnne Benton (Jodie Foster) was in the wrong place at the wrong time and witnessed a murder. Now, the mob and the police are after her as she flees rather than enter witness protection.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOn the police side, we get Fred Ward (Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins). On the mob side, we have the boss, Vincent Price; John Turturro (Barton Fink, u0026quot;Monku0026quot;); Tony Sirico (u0026quot;The Sopranosu0026quot;); and Joe Pesci (Goodfellas, Raging Bull).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCameos by Bob Dylan, Charlie Sheen, and Catherine Keener added up to a great cast. Too bad the movie wasnu0026#39;t as good as the people in it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDennis Hopper (Hoosiers, Easy Rider), who also produced and directed the movie, played Milo, a hit man hired by the mob to catch the girl. Unfortunately, they didnu0026#39;t figure him to become obsessed with her, and whatu0026#39;s more we didnu0026#39;t figure that she would develop Stockholm Syndrome.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film came in between Fosteru0026#39;s two Oscar winning performances in The Accused and Silence of the Lambs. We get a good look at Jodieu0026#39;s Fosters not once, but twice in the most skintastic performance of her career. She is one good looking woman.”
