  • Metacritic Score: 65
Accolades
  • Golden Globe Awards: Nominated, Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role (Penelope Ann Miller); Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role (Sean Penn)
Brian De Palma in his best films is a muscular director who relishes over-the-top behavior and here he paints a gallery of colorful gangsters and lowlifes. The acting here by Sean Penn is a virtuoso tour de force – one of those performances that takes on a life of its own.
