In full-on tough-guy mode, Elliott plays a veteran NYC detective who must buddy up with Peter Weller’s vanilla public defender after discovering a conspiracy between crack dealers and cops in this solid crime saga. Features several gloriously over-the-top action sequences in Coney Island and Times Square, and no shortage of macho wisecracks.

A film by James Glickenhaus
