Storyline

New attorney Sean Casey (Andy Garcia), a former policeman, has been unexpectedly tapped to prosecute a case against drug dealer Jordan Washington (Shiek Mahmud-Bey). Washington's lawyer, Sam Vigoda (Richard Dreyfuss), claims that there is a police cover-up against his client. However, Casey wins the trial and soon becomes county district attorney. It's then that he finds evidence that there may have really been corruption in the force, and it could involve his father, Liam (Ian Holm).



Short Review

Overall, I found this film to be rather satisfying. Performances by Andy Garcia, Ian Holm, Richard Dreyfuss, and the late James Gandolfini were all truly excellent. The plot itself was also unpredictable, and I found myself enjoying the story of this film as it combined crime, drama, and thriller. Thanks to Imprint Films in Australia, I'm personally delighted and proud to own this film within my collection - Walkden Entertainment
