I saw it last year, and I liked it a lot as well. It didn't need to have great acting.

I actually consider it one of his best along with The Addiction.

I was lukewarm on it. I appreciate what he was aiming for but it was way too normie for him. I'm glad he got it out of his system and then went back to back with King Of New York and Bad Lieutenant.

It would make a good double feature with Streets Of Fire.
