Phoenix [1998] [DVD]

This s a film I had previously never heard of, probably not released here, or straight to dvd only. It deserves a better showing, as it is not at all bad. It does have a cool feel about it, as if it is going to be better than it actually is. I agree with another reviewer that the Phoenix setting has no relevance, as it could be anywhere. Ray Liotta, who sadly never improved on his finest hour in 'Goodfellas', does his best with a formulaic role, and is well supported by the rest of the cast, many of whom are visibly much better actors. Don't let all the criticism put you off though. At a good price that won't break anyone's bank,if you are a fan of cop thrillers, or of any of the cast, you won't go wrong with this film.

Having previously not been a fan of what I have seen of Ray Liotta's films I was pleased to say I enjoyed this one. The storyline is good the violence and language not overdone, not a small amount of humour which made me laugh, a great buy at this price as well.

After Judge Dredd Danny Cannons options were this, an average thriller with Ray Liotta treading water career wise.Its actually not too bad but the UK DVD does it no favors with a slightly below average 4:3 picture.Worth picking up if like me you're a Brittany Murphy completist.

Routine thriller when it comes to the story but somehow I quiet enjoyed the pace of this film.Also.routine for Ray Liotta but he does a good job portraiting an desperate gambler.Typical 90's crime flick with some funny characters and dialogue.Will definitely watch this again sometime in the future.....

Film noir? Or Film soleil... a bit of both here...This is a crime thriller set in the very hot cityof Phoenix AZ, so it's Film Noir, set in thesun... thus, FILM SOLEIL... and a good oneat that...

Arrived quickly and enjoyed watching again. Havent seen it for ages. Really enjoyable film.Ray Liotta is his usual moody character and actually plays the hero for a change.A cop with gambling debt bites off more than he can chew when he gets into debt with his bookie
