剧情介绍
War hero recovers from amnesia & is confronted by his criminal past.
A World War II veteran, suffering from amnesia but otherwise healthy, is released from a veteran's hospital, decides to return to Los Angeles to see if he can regain his identity. Trying to retrace his former steps he soon learns that he was a double-crossing gangster, and many people have reasons to wish he wasn't around...and some try to see to it that he isn't around very long...alive, at least.
对于黑丝来说这是个很有趣又不常见的题材，但是导演没有把握好这个机会，剧本在第二幕之后也缺乏新意陷入了平庸。主人公艾迪毫无气势可言，相对来说反派的文斯反倒更像是悍匪。
【YVR-que】故事乏善可陈，人物塑造刻意简单，转折人物突兀没有铺垫。话虽如此，放在当时也应该是主流水平了。Payne和Drew两人对话时虽然光影不合理（整片设置都有问题），但是明暗对比符合人物对照，在灯光上是有想法的。Payne很适合这种有陷害的戏码，眼神无辜又纯真。Kansas City Confidential，34街都有这种感觉。但纵向来看，他又跳不出这种片场设置，上限较低，可惜了。
乏善可陈。编剧好像不是很明白推进故事和拖时间的区别，反派和警察都为了把片子拖长有不少匪夷所思或者干脆愚蠢的行为。男主的失忆基本没制造什么有用的冲突，还在大部分时间里把男主置于完全被动的地位，直到被栽赃杀警才开始有点事干。唯一的嗨点是视觉，十足Alton十足LA，总之是黑片迷就一定喜欢。
