I finally got around to watching a tape of this film, and I kinda liked it despite the bad reviews it got. The story is a bit weak - the movie title gives away too much of the plot, and I figured out the Jeff Daniels angle pretty early on, but it was still entertaining.
I think the film would have been better with a few casting changes. Jeff Daniels just doesn't make it as a psycho killer, and the gun battle at the end of the film seemed a bit ludicrous and unnecessary. Also, I think the police lieutenant, played by Tina Lifford, would have worked better as Clint's love interest. There was more chemistry between those two than with the dead girl's sister. Also, there was too much of Paul Rodriguez in the flick - his bantering with Clint was overdone.
Pedestrian, but still enjoyable.
