Wow! Three thumbs up for Cage's excellent performance as a psychotic albeit principled gangster. He doesn't upstage David Caruso, but provides the element of quiet but deadly violence needed to make the film convincing, instead of another random shoot-em-up movie. His... Full review

But it takes the arrival of a film as compelling as "Kiss of Death," one of the most effective neo-noirs, to underline why so many of the others haven't been able to go the distance.
With a fine piece of work in his hands, Schroeder has brought all his skill to bear on "Kiss of Death," and it has made all the difference.

Audiences may want to come up for air too as this dark, brutal film constricts into increasingly grim prospects for Jimmy.
The movie's world is a grease pit of small-time hoods and smug law enforcement-types.

Kiss of Death,'' smartly dancing between the quiet moments of a man trying to slip away toward another life and the metallic clank of cage doors slamming shut on him, evolves from one dire situation to another.
The movie's world is a grease pit of small-time hoods and smug, self-serving law enforcement types.
