True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

First of all, terrific cast: J.J.Leigh as young and green anti-drug cop was an excellent choice. Despite she was 5 years olden than Patrick, she acting like real rookie. Jason Patrick act well but there is something missing in his character. Max Perlich as "mister Walker" is also great.I can't imagine how it's possible, that after all this good choices, Zanuck (or someone) thinks that Gregg Allman should be a bad guy. Allman look like old harmless hippie, and he can't compete with Patrick and Leigh.The script is really good, but don't expect some action scene. This is drama about cops, not crime movie with drama attitude. Story is not predictable, there is no stupid and pathetic scenes, like in so many modern crime movie. And Jennifer is always worth seeing.It's just good movie, but "just" means a lot these days.

Outstanding movie about undercover drug work with Jason Patric (In the Valley of Elah) and Jennifer Jason Leigh (Miami Blues, Margot at the Wedding).Producer Lili Fini Zanuck (Driving Miss Daisy, Cocoon) directs her first film and does a great job of keeping the action moving as we delve into the sordid world of those who build cases against drug dealers and see the danger that they themselves are in. It was a revealing and tense film with outstanding performances by Patric and Leigh.With Sam Elliott (The Big Lebowski, The Golden Compass) and Gregg Allman in his only movie.

Todd's review was accurate but as a conservative myself I feel as though the very anti-drug message sent by this movie isn't really a political thing, it's a common sense thing and it has never been conservatives trying to censor American from the realisms we face in society I think I remember the liberal agenda around this time being to put warning labels on everything, so I agree that our society was changing as a whole on what was put on the screen but neither party was holding movies like this one back I feel that conservatives as a whole would like the adult to make a decision on what they want to see or if they see it and the left would like the Government to make everyones decisions for them. Just a thought and very very good acting in this one

Although this story isn't about the average person's everyday life, in my opinion this film is one of the most realistic and interesting movies I have ever viewed. This tale takes place in Caterly, TX where two undercover detectives have found their chance to make a difference, but after becoming involved in this world they realize that right and wrong is not always black and white. This film is very close to my heart. There are no cheesy lines that you only here in movies where you find yourself thinking "who really talks like that?" The emotions displayed by these characters come across the screen as guanine and hit you where it hurts. Most of all this movie has an unbelievable soundtrack including hits from Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton.
