Wayne Dobie is a shy police photographer who saves the life of crime boss Frank Milo. Greatful, Milo insists on being Wayne's friend, offering him the companionship of "Glory", one of his employees. Wayne is thus in a difficult situation: he can't be seen to be fraternising with criminals, and he's unsure about how to deal with Glory. Written by

Difficult to regard this movie as the one so great but certainly I had good time when watching it. Everything seemed to be predictable but the description to the characters was sufficiently deep and hence the movie was still worth watching. A police photographer, a gangster and a barmaid , in fact nothing but a "tool" of the gangster only, appeared to be the people whom the public would not highly respect. But the movie revealed the bright side of them in a manner very natural and thus also made itself quite watchable. The actors were very good. Robert De Niro performed very well and Uma Thurman was OK. Other actors like Bill Murray and David Caruso also gave good performance. Worth watching!
