But also have to admire acting and directing and resulting passionate credibility which envelops this film, despite its hackneyed story, esp. by Liotta and Patric, whose performances warrant Oscar consideration. Again, though, do wish this extraordinary display of talent had a real, new cop story to tell. And speaking of telling, will someone please explain the subplot blip to me in which Oak's(?) 10-year-old daughter appears to have been given up for pimping?!
