Wet and salty...

Quality thriller... Fun neo-noir...

It's so good, the right mix of the wrong kind of people, the heat, the ill gotten gains... the seductions...

Loads of mood and atmosphere... The medium shots, not just talking heads... the shadowy night scenes and the blurry and light bloomed day scenes... The dialogue and the performances... Kathleen Turner 😎

I only wish there was a better quality transfer... It's not bad, but could be better... Maybe they'll redo it some day...

And what about that soundtrack?

I like the brief scene where Ted Danson is dancing by himself on the dock. Always made me wonder if TD likes to dance in his own life.
