Hill is very much in the American grain, the inheritor of the Ford-Hawks-Walsh tradition of artful, understated action film making.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Walter Hill's first outright failure.
What's ultimately missing is a definable point of view which would tie together the myriad events on display and fill in the blanks which Hill has imposed on the action by sapping it of emotional or historical meaning.
A beautiful, laconic and unsentimental film.
