Rollie Tyler (Bryan Brown) is a top-notch special effects expert who is approached to help stage an assassination of a mobster (Jerry Orbach), but in the process suddenly realises he has been double-crossed as the assassination is anything but staged….
Ingenious use of classic film-making techniques, backed up by a cool noir style, with a great cast led by the charismatic Brown and good support from the likes of Brian Dennehy (FIRST BLOOD) and Diane Venora (BIRD, HEAT) as Tyler’s girlfriend.. The film spawned a sequel and a TV spin-off
