Enjoyable Character Piece !!

Well, this is a surprisingly short film from the bid-90s, when women still had big hair (our stewardess, uh, air hostess, uh, hmmm no gender?). She's a character--true-to-character amateur psychologist meets in-trouble FBI agent with Yakuza prisoner...from beginning to end, you really have no idea what's going on in this film, which has a miraculous ending. You don't see Mary at the end. But, she saved widower Zeck's son's life. Zack comments to that Eric is "spending too much time with that Mary." which completes that circle...it could be considered a sarcastic farce about family relationships, with a little too much blood. That makes it entertaining enough--and kept my attention, which isn't that easy.

Long before Russell Crowe is the Gladiator, the unhinged road-rager, or the charming Captain Jack, he plays a sardonic FBI agent--and this isn't a waste of 90 minutes time by far, if you can remember 1995 )))
