De Niro moves past cartoon to give a full-bodied picture of a suspicious man whose one extraordinary quality is an inextinguishable sentimentalism. He's superbly coordinated by Rossellini, who has rarely been this warm, engaging and placid onscreen. Both Madsen and Ladd are a hoot as particularly unpredictable ladies, and Rohm is unsettling as a solid purveyor of negativism. Ramirez engagingly uncovers his restricted character's sweet absolute entirety, while Cooper easily handles his mercury corporate showbiz character.
Danny Elfman's punchy score is supplemented by some forcefully picked musical samplings, which just incompletely papers over the film's numerous nervous and unexpected moves as it sways during that time and the characters' fiercely changing life circumstances.
