Starring: John Malkovich and Andie MacDowell

A ne’er do well and his girlfriend search for a thief after a priceless statue is stolen from their hotel room

This crime film flounders soon after it starts and then rolls agonisingly towards its inevitable conclusion. It features a scene that was filmed at an empty Holborn Underground station on the Piccadilly Line.

Rudi Davies at Holborn Underground station. The platform of the eastbound Piccadilly Line is through the gate behind her.
She has now reached the almost deserted Aldwych branch platform. The shuttle services to the Aldwych were still operating at the time of filming.
Later in the film there is this lingering shot of Rudi Davies on the escalators of an Underground station. Presumably this too is Holborn.
