Starring : Cole Hauser, Laurence Fishburne, James Cromwell, Emmanuelle Chriqui, James Denton, Jon Cryer, Kevin Pollak
Director : Nolan H Lebovitz
Running Time : 108 mins
A man calling himself Jimmy Vaughn (Hauser) is tasked by his drug lord bosses to torture an accountant named Archie Green (Fishburne) who is suspected of stealing money from his bosses. The trouble is Jimmy is actually Kevin Cole, an undercover FBI agent who is now faced with having to follow inhuman orders so as not to compromise his cover.
This movie so badly wants to be Reservoir Dogs but falls short of the mark by a country mile. I’m not saying it’s terrible; it’s just that it’s been done before and in more capable hands. Hauser and Fishburne – pretty much the focus of the movie – are okay, but some of the stuff is a little hokey, like Hauser screaming in his sleep and his therapy sessions with Kevin Pollak, who is possibly the most judgemental therapist ever, but there are some elements that would make this an okay movie to watch on a Sunday night.
