A decent script for three movie stars (the leads are all described as hot, and two of them have a four hour love making session). It's a love triangle between a drug dealer, a cop and the woman they both love... mixed up with another cop who is also a drug dealer. The American drug dealer has two best friends, the Mexican cop and the American cop - maybe those roles should've merged... the American cop kind of disappears at the end. Towne wanted it to end with the American drug dealer dying which it really should have done - the girl could've gone off with the cop and raised the dead dealer's son. The film doesn't quite manage the transfer of affection of the girl from the cop to the drug dealer.
Not bad. A solid Warner Bros style melodrama well updated to the present day.
