As I recall, it came out the same year as two other great
hardboiled
movies, Reservoir Dogs, and the under-seen Laws of Gravity, a
sort of
petty criminal remake of Mean Streets. The last was directed
by Nick
Gomez, who went on to do New Jersey Drive and numerous
episodes of
Homicide (as did John McNaughton of Henry, Portrait of a
Serial Killer).
It made for a great trilogy.
