Black Day, Blue Night (1995)

I think this must be the third time I have viewed this straight-to-video film since I can never quite remember it and recall it as being somewhat better than it is.  It's a sorry tale of cross and double-cross, love and loss.  It's largely a C-list group of actors but all of them do well enough, among them Mia Sara.  She never quite made it as an A-list leading actress despite a promising start in the 80's,but she is strangely watchable.  Also watchable and at times terrifying is the much-missed character actor, J. T. Walsh.  Just when one hopes that there will be a happy ending after some needless bloodshed, the rug is pulled out which takes one by surprise-- no happy ending here.
