Scenes of the crime.
A young mechanic works as a driver for a mobster. He's driving one of his bosses henchmen the day before his wedding and as a result end up part of a kdnap of a rival crook played by Jeff Bridges.
Things go very wrong when the mobster is killed by bridges henchmen (Noah wyle from ER playing against type as a sociopathic killer and Henry Rollins) and a stand of ensues.
This a fun, low budget indie crime thriller from 2001 that does little original with its subject matter but does it well. As part of a four film set that costs about a fiver it was certainly worth my time.
Relentless.
The reason I bought the set. Directed by Bill Lustig the film start Leo Rossi as a new york cop moved to LA and partnered up with Robert Loggia. The pair are at odds at first but soon bond in the hunt for a deranged serial killer played by 80's teen heart throb Judd nelson.
Relentless is an excellent thriller that proves Lustig is a more than capable director with more mainstream commercial material. The film is great fun and genuinely suspensful. There are three sequels all of which are dirt cheap to pick up bar number 2 which is freakishly expensive.
Two more to go but these made the mill creek set worth picking up.
