Great movie. Keeping this short, Walken and Leary play their parts around each other like two dancers performing a perfect waltz. (I hope they team up for another flick...)
What makes this a good movie is when guessing the ending is difficult, and that is exactly what transpired here. It is more along the lines of black humor (being somewhat sadistic,) working alongside drama only a tense, heartpounding movie can do. The characters are beautifully cast, from Walken's mobster lord role, to Leary's sarcastic sidekick to Henry Thomas's spoiled rich kid (yes, that's the kid from E.T.! Look closely to see the remains of the little boy in the now grown up twentysomething,) and a plot worth renting. A must see
