When the crooked cops get what's coming, it's sooo satisfying!
Plot Summary:
Jimmie Rainwood, a law-abiding airplane mechanic, has his life
irrevocably altered when he is framed for a crime he didn't
commit by two corrupt police officers. He is wrongly convicted
and sent to prison, where he must adapt to the brutal prison
environment to survive. After being paroled, Rainwood seeks to
clear his name and expose the corrupt officers who orchestrated
his incarceration.
Dad's Preview:
My buddy Kev needs one thing in a movie: bloody revenge. This
is one of his favorites. Jimmy Rainwood, who is wrongfully
imprisoned by two dirty police officers wants his revenge. Being a good man, he does not want to kill anyone, but in
the slammer, you have to kill to earn respect. When Jimmy is
released, he's a different person... and it's time for some payback.
Selleck and F. Murray Abraham deliver superb performances.
