      There is a lot of plot in this movie probably too much. The best thing to do is to accept the plot, and then disregard it, and pay attention to the scenes of passion. They really work. ( Read More )
    • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

      Raymond Chandlers detective Philip Marlowe once complained that Los Angeles had become a big hard boiled city with no more personality than a paper cup. ( Read More )
    • Emanuel Levy

      Taylor Hackfords impressively mounted film noir is well acted by the central triangle: Jeff Bridges, James Woods, and the sexy Rachel Ward. ( Read More )
    • Daniel Barnes

      Jeff Bridges (in the same year he made John Carpenters Starman, no less) is the perfect noir patsy as Terry Brogan, sexy, sex starved, and self destructive, equal parts good intentions and flimsy morality. ( Read More )
    • Philip French

      Despite the longueurs and the underlying callowness, I enjoyed Against All Odds, though I cant see it lasting the way Tourneurs film has. ( Read More )
