The best way to watch this picture is with the sound OFF. And no subtitles, either.
The "steamy" lesbian sex scene (with body doubles for the closeups) is topped by hundreds of offerings available every day on the today's internet.
The script is **dumb**, cliché-ridden with not one memorable line in the whole film, and more four-letter profanity than "The Sopranos". It was clearly written not just in a rush but by Hollywood types who have little idea of what Mafia guys really are like or how they operate. The portrayals of Caesar and the rest are grotesquely unconvincing. Nor does it stop there. The butch ex-con Corky also is more caricature than character--just a collection of tattoos and piercings in men's underwear that never adds up to a believable person.
OK, the cinematography and sets are stylish. The producers got the most from a low budget with no money for outdoor scenes so it's **film noir** in color. So what? Gina Gershon never got a part again in a major movie after appearing in this **dreck**.
Even if every queer in the western world gave this picture ten stars on here, Hollywood, like the viewing public, made its own decision and this picture was gone from theaters--those few it ran in--faster than a late night movie crowd.
