It's a successful frame-turner, no more, no less, and the pleasure we feel is every bit as mild and just as fleeting.

A street-wise kid, Mark Sway, sees the suicide of Jerome Clifford, a prominent Louisiana lawyer, whose current client is Barry 'The Blade' Muldano, a Mafia hit-man. Before Jerome shoots himself, he tells Mark where the body of a Senator is buried.

A high-voltage charge of suspense, action and humor.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

It twists and turns in all the expected places, and almost never rises above the ordinary.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post

Desson Thomson, Washington Post

Not as satisfying as it should be.
