In a town this bad, it's no use being good.

Overview

After being released from prison on a bum charge, Harry Barber is out for payback to regain his lost two years.

A review by JPV852

Effective enough modern film noir that excels mainly for the cast, especially Woody Harrelson and Elisabeth Shue. I had seen this before many years ago and my opinion pretty much remained the same. **3.25/5**
