watching the lengthy scenes of E.J.Olmos being drunk and getting nowhere I pondered why that story was familiar.
In fact the plot is a mixture of “Laura” (1944) and “Vertigo” (1958), both highly recommended.
Olmos and Sean Young make that movie that has a bit too many flaws to be a good one. But it’s good enough, especially if you like Sean Young and sleazy detective stories.
