Everyone is always dissing David Caruso. I think he is alright and he really does a good job in this film. He just wants his life back and wants to take care of his family.
He went to jail and lost his wife (Helen Hunt). He made a deal with the D.A. (Stanley Tucci) and got revenge on the man responsible (Michael Rapaport). But the D.A. is not satisfied. he wants Little Junior (Nicolas Cage). Cage plays one bad mother who kills a federal agent (Ving Rhames) in front of Caruso. That's not enough as the feds get put on the ropes by the mob lawyer (Anthony Heald) and the D.A. makes a deal and drops the case. With the help of a cop (Samuel L. Jackson), he closes the deal and goes off with his new wife (Kathryn Erbe).
That's the story in a nutshell, but it doesn't do justice to what happens. I have seldom seen a neonoir drama with such a list of stars, not to mention eye-candy like Bernadette Penotti.
Worth a watch on Sunday afternoon.
