Title: More than just would-be Tarantino
Review: This is one of the most original films to come down the pike in quite some time. While initial scenes would appear to borrow from "Reservoir Dogs," "Phoenix" quickly establishes its own tone. The dialogue is great (the King Kong speech itself is worth the price of admission), and the actors have the skill to bring it all off. Liotta is one of the most powerful, charismatic actors working today, and here he finally gets the kind of material that actually gives him a few challenges. "Phoenix" is more than just a well done entry in the noir genre; it's a spectacular, witty film with a great cast and many, many great moments. Liotta forever!
