This film kind of came and went - no one seems to talk about it much these days - but it's really fantastic script - fast paced, full of twists and turns, the logic totally held.
Two things maybe a bit yuck - the stalker aspect (falling in love with the girl who likes kittens and Cary Grant movies) and the violence of the crimes (fingers cut off and bits severed... though this is done via dialogue more than shown anything). But it works as a love story. No wonder Rossio was upset when Tony Scott agreed to direct - Scott wasn't great with love stories.
It feels very different to the scripts Rossio wrote with Ted Elliot - Marsilii brought out a different side to him. A great read.
