Not sure what all the hype is about. Does a good job of setting up the world, but takes forever to get to the plot which then moves along in a series of jerks and odd jumps. And the end with the McGuffin in the shape of heroin was just a disappointment, but that was probably my fault for expecting some kind of novel twist after so many cliched beats. Characters felt like cardboard cutouts, even if the actors did their best. With the exception of Kim Basinger with her weird little half-smile.

as miraculously honed an adaptation as you’ll find, but too slick, too preoccupied with being liked. there’s a chilling scene in which white becomes the father he despised despite every effort to escape him, but the film doesn't want you wallowing in such filth for too long and happily pretends like that entire episode never happened so we can get a cheesy ending complete with a handshake and drive off into the sunset. “learn to pull your punches better” was probably the studio M.O.
