A minor moody character study, Burns' third film is a misguided foray into the woman's picture, only partially evoking the dead-end-small-town life of a working-class waitress (Lauren Holly, Burns' girlfriend)

It is only natural that Burns would want to turn his attentions to something more serious. He should stick to comedy.

Despite its thinness, No Looking Back is a step forward for Burns. Let's hope he takes the title to heart.
