The New Mexico scenery is worth the watch. Willam Dafoe is always fascinating; I associate Dafoe with his dancing in the English Patient. Inside Dafoe is a dancing bird. His face is both earthy and spiritual. He is a rare energy. Here he is a cop finding a corpse with $500,000 in a suitcase. He takes the suitcase to a number on a piece of digested hamburger wrapper. Two women get the money. Mickey Rourke is making a deal with the money that gets illegal arms traders involved. Then Sam Jackson gets involved. He is always solid. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio falls for Dafoe, but he loves his wife and son. She doesn't have enough to get him interested. In a mostly all male script the female has to be a Marilyn Monroe. Roger Donaldson of No Way Out directed. Definitely worth watching. There is a definite trend of bad and fake FBI Agents with good reason.
