In Barbet Schroeder's gritty thriller, David Caruso is an ex-con who's lured back into a life of crime for one last heist. When a detective (Samuel L. Jackson) offers him his freedom in return for turning on a gangster (Nicolas Cage), he becomes a reluctant pawn caught between federal agents and the mob. Helen Hunt, Stanley Tucci and Michael Rapaport co-star in this stylish, streetsmart film noir.
Viewer Reviews
David Caruso, as Jimmy Kilmartin; ex-hood, ex-felon was great. Showing that post-"NYPD" and pre-"CSI: Miami" demeanor. All the while being pushed around by the cops (Samuel L. Jackson as Calvin), almost killed by "Little Junior - B.A.D.," played by Nicolas Cage; psycho-hood son of father gangster "Big Junior" (what else!) played by Philip Baker Hall.
Jimmy goes to prison, but before he's released 3 years later; his wife (Helen Hunt) is run over (in a drunken stupor). Then, his cousin is killed by Cage for screwing up. Jimmy ends up marrying Rosie, played by Kathryn Erbe in her pre-"Law And Order - Criminal Intent" days. She's a real "looker" in this one.
An undercover fed (Ving Rhames) whom Jimmy meets, is assassinated by Little Junior, in his presence. The Feds want Junior's hide, but he ends up "walking." If you've watched a lot of movies with state and federal authorities screwing each other and not sharing information (Stanley Tucci - the prosecutor, among the many), then you'll know why Cage walks.
This is going to take too long, so please read "long-winded" reviews for complete storyline.
Anyway, the movie is short enough but replete with the many cliche'd "good guys vs. bad guys" mannerisms and confrontations that have been overdone in so many movies that... well....they're done in this one.
