Kevin Spacey was named the first starring role, but there were not many scenes. It was a bit strange. I felt that the director had some promotion of Russell. At that time, Russell, an Australian tough guy, was not as well-known in Hollywood as it is now.
Both are my favorite male movie stars, but there are almost no scenes of their face-to-face scenes. Apart from Kevin reminding Russell at the police station to watch his friends so as not to impulsively cause trouble, there is no second scene of direct confrontation. It is a pity.
The setting of the plot does not say that, with two Oscars and two Golden Globe Awards, the screenwriter's strength is obvious to all.
