    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Many of the featured extras that played Bakersfield cops were actual officers from local stations. In a few of the scenes the director told them "just do it as you would in real life."
    • Goofs
      When Jimmy is pointing a revolver at Officer Ramsey in the rest room, and later when she shoots Frankie with the same gun, it is obvious from the frontal camera angle that the weapon is not loaded. Its chambers are clearly empty.
    • Quotes

      Jimmy Dale: Momma, he tried to kill me!

      Mom: Well... that's none of my business.

    Weak, disorganized plot. Written for an Oprah world.
    The plot was really weak and confused. This is a true Oprah flick. (In Oprah's world, all men are evil and all women are victims.)
