Review of The January Man (1989) by David Ansen for Newsweek — 11 Jun 2017
The January Man is worth study as a film that fails to find its tone. It's all over the map. It wants to be zany but violent, satirical but slapstick, romantic but cynical. It wants some of its actors to rant and rave like amateur tragedians, and others to reach for subtle nuances.
And it wants all of these things to happen at the same time.
