Critic Reviews:
- " Mr. King's direction, occasionally, is inspired, and the photography has unusual style and dramatic impact. "
- New York Times
- " Like San Francisco, events sort of just happen and allegiances just sort of shift around to stall time before the grand finale. "
- Eric Henderson
- " The sincerity of all the actors still surprises. "
