Review of After Dark, My Sweet (1990) by Jay Boyar for Orlando Sentinel — 13 Sep 1994
Dern's dirtball performance gives After Dark, My Sweet a desperately needed quality of slugged-out authenticity -- he gives the movie its edge. If anything, though, Foley makes Thompson's killing universe too inviting, too sunny and comfortable.
He's missed the essence of Thompson, but all in all, there are worse ways of failing.
