Based on the best-selling crime novel from a series by Denise Mina set in Glasgow in 1982 Paddy Meehan is a young girl in a world of men; a feisty 'copy boy' in the sexist hard-boozing cutthroat world of journalism. Paddy dreams of being an investigative reporter and she grabs the opportunity when a young boy Brian Wilcox is kidnapped and found murdered. Paddy sees connections to a year-old crime that nobody else sees and she is determined to make it her story. But when Paddy crosses the line she becomes outcast from her devoutly Catholic family and puts the lives of her colleagues as well as her own at risk. The closer she gets to the murderer the closer she gets to murder; and the price of achieving her dream will prove greater than she can ever imagine.
Sheathing itself in bad taste, this film flaunts its tackiness, its machismo, and its very stupidity, which of course makes for a lot of dopey fun. Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) returns to his roots, the LA of 1996 (the film was set in the near future, as it was made in 1991). Burbank has become an airport, a new drug called Crystal Dream is all the rage and Harley's favourite bar is being torn down. To save it, he and the Marlboro Man (Don Johnson, at his most engaging) concoct an armed robbery that goes awry. Instead of cash, they end up with a shipment of Crystal Dream. Hunted by a drug dealer's goons, the two bark, fight, drink and squint at each other as they try to get themselves out of their mess. This is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for the monster-truck crowd, with plenty of breasts, choppers, broken pool cues and empty bottles. It's impossible to blame this film for being so emphatically trashy; its creators would consider that a compliment, anyway. --Keith Simanton, Amazon.com
