I had never seen this movie until 20 years after it's release. I found it very unrealistic (the roof plunge, church/mass scene, courthouse/courtroom scene), over-acted (Stecker's meltdown at the crimescene going unreported), and poorly dialogued (had to have beat the record set by Casino for f-bombs). Willem Dafoe must have owed someone big-time to take this role, and the scene of him tonguing the mobster turned my stomach. The best actor is the mobster who acts like he thinks Dafoe-in-drag is a woman. Not since John Amos talking of the beauty of Esther Rolle has a man acted so well......
