Scott Frank's adaptation of Elmore Leonard's twisty 1990 story shows how far the TV series diverged from it.
John Travolta is super-cool as the mob fixer who gets interested in the movie business.
With Gene Hackman (funny), Rene Russo, Danny de Vito, Delroy Lindo, James Gandolfini, David Paymer, Dennis Farina. The success of this may have inspired Soderbergh to make Out Of Sight in 1998, also adapted by Frank.
DP Donald Peterman, music John Lurie, editor Jim Miller.
Liked the Touch of Evil references.
