A large group of homeless men are so cold that they stage an all night sit in protest in the public library run by Emilio Estevez who joins their crusade. Top cop Baldwin and politically ambitious Slater face off to the men.
The social message is a sound one and there are quite a few enjoyable and compelling scenes. There is though plenty wrong with this film. Some of the characters seem over the top or just ill fitting to the tone of the film. Slater's character seems to want to be a Bond villain and Estevez just seems to be playing eccentric and dithering for no apparent reason. Some of the plot points and script are a bit thin and waiver between a semi serious approach and a lightweight almost comic one. A good cast overall though with Michael K Williams winning any acting honours. Bit disappointing.
