Director Taylor Hackford's film following his breakthrough film "An Officer and a Gentleman" holds well against the test of time. The story of a love story between a heiress on the run and a down on his luck football player who can't escape their past that gets them caught in a web of deception and murder. Hackford cleverly re-imagines instead of a simple remake the classic film noir "Out of the Past" by setting it in sun drenched Mexico and Los Angeles without losing any impact. A dashing Jeff Bridges and beautiful Rachel Ward are perfectly cast as the lovers with support of Richard Widmark, James Woods and Jane Greer who was the lead in the original.
