Session 9

A clean crew for hazardous material end up over extending themselves while cleaning up an abandoned mental hospital. A tight group that seems to have been working together for a long time, start to see their relationship fissuring as the pressure mounts. David Caruso seems to have taken a break from solving crimes and does a hand doing a character actor. The film moves along slowly allowing the atmosphere from the film to slowly seep out of the screen. The film is taunt and keeps you engaged, but it fails to deliver fully on its potential.

Mad Dog and Glory

A Martin Scorsese produced movie staring two of the prime artists of our time and a beauty. The tagline of the movie describes it best:

A cop who'd rather be an artist. A mobster who'd rather be a comic. And a woman who'd rather be anywhere but between them.

Witty clever interplay between 2 characters who are accidentally brought together. The friendship is cut-short on an inevitable face-off over a woman. Quite funny and amusing.

David Caruso appears in a bit role. A pity that we havent seen more of the fellow.
