Summary: David Caruso is cool, Kathryn Erbe is gorgeous! Nicolas Cage - eh!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Slow thriller with some good performances
Comment: This isn't the great film it could have been, but it has some great acting and powerful scenes. It's worth watching for the quality acting, but the pace is far too slow.

Summary: cutey caruso
Comment: I really enjoyed seeing David Caruso so young and cute!! He still is however... I am a fan, so of course I am biased. I thought the movie was good and entertaining.A pretty good mob movie, and a look at the behavior of a psychopath, played by Cage. I did sit on the edge of my seat a few times. A good movie for Cage and Caruso fans..!!

Summary: NICOLAS CAGE AT HIS BEST!
Comment: This film caught me completely off guard. Both Nicolas Cage and David Caruso play their parts well. In fact, one of the best roles I've seen Cage play.

Nicolas Cage is a ruthless gangster who stops at nothing in his evil ways, while Caruso is an ex-con that gets pulled back into trouble. I thought Caruso did a very good job of acting and I'm not a fan of his.

Other stars include Samuel L. Jackson, Helen Hunt, Stanley Tucci and Michael Rapaport.

I highly recommend this film if you enjoy thrillers and/or gangster films. Great surprise ending!

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.
