Once again, LOR says it all in its extended deep review. I agree that Tia was like a shooting star: just only sighted for a brief moment. What strikes me here is the atmosphere of the movie, close to a B movie Hollywood production: Indeed, James Bonn doesn't look at all like a brainless stud, Tia is dressed with nice dress and look like a 50s femme fatale. So with the feeling of LA confidential or a Mike Hammer episode, you have the bonus of meeting a amazing babe!
