The structure of such movies is predictable. You alternate three kinds of scenes until the movie is over. Scene A involves cynical fast talk between the lawyer and the cop. Scene B involves a flirtation between the cop and the girl. Scene C involves the hero involved in violence, eventually leading to the rescue of the heroine and a final triumphant embrace […]. Movies like this work best if you don’t know who did it until the hero finds out. No such luck this time. — Roger Ebert
