After superstitious cop Harry Collins (Ray Liotta) racks up significant gambling debts, he is given the option of killing an informant. Collins decides to instead rob a loan shark (Giancarlo Esposito) in order to pay off his bookie (Tom Noonan), so he can run off with bartender Leila (Anjelica Huston). He is aided by his rough partner, Mike (Anthony LaPaglia), as well as corrupt officers James (Daniel Baldwin) and Fred (Jeremy Piven), and the robbery quickly becomes more than Harry anticipated.

Harry W Sep 23, 2018 Danny Cannon's film noir features an impressive cast but nothing new, storywise.
Hermione P May 5, 2017 Watchable B-movie. Has many holes in its storyline but given the b-rate cast this is to be expected. Watch it without too much expectation/hope for it and you will enjoy it best. Ray Liotta gives a decent performance. See more
