Kiss Of Death

Screenwriter Richard Price named the film?s lead police officer after a real detective from Jersey City, Detective Calvin Hart. Previously the same detective inspired Price?s character Andre in the giant novel ?Clockers? which was also made into a feature film. In Barbet Schroder?s gritty thriller, actor David Caruso is an ex-con who?s lured back into the life of crime for one last heist. When a detective (Samuel L Jackson) offers him his freedom in return for turning on a gangster (Nicholas Cage), he becomes a reluctant pawn caught between federal agents and the mob. Helen Hunt, Stanley Tucci and Michael Rapaport co-star in this stylish, street-smart film.
