Story Synopsis:
When the Justice Department wants to stage a fake assassination of an underworld witness to protect him from really being murdered, they contact Rollie Tyler (Bryan Brown), Hollywood’s best special effects wizard. But they don’t tell him everything and this may turn out to be his last assignment. A New York detective, played by Brian Dennehy, uncovers a sinister scheme then pulls a startling double-cross himself. With more plot twists than a corkscrew this story will hold your interest right up to the credits.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is matted at 1.85:1. The picture is generally sharp, however there are some scene inconsistencies in which colors are either bland or oversaturated. Blacks are solid in the dark scenes and shadow detail is generally good but some artifacts are apparent.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is conventional with spatially dynamic effects that provide subtle surround envelopment.
