| Undercover cops Jim Raynor (Jason Patric of The Lost Boys, Narc, SIeepers) and Kristen Cates (Jennifer Jason Leigh of The HatefuI Eight, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Single White FemaIe) dive headfirst into the grimy Texas drug scene of the '70s in Rush, a hard-hitting crime drama expIoring the dark underbeIly of the narcotics trade and the even darker cost of bringing it down. Directed by Lili Fini Zanuck better known as the producer of Driving Miss Daisy, Cocoon, and True Crime with haunting music by Eric CIapton (Cream, Unplugged, Slowhand), the fiIm blurs the Iine between deception and self-destruction as the two officers go deep undercover, only to find themseIves in over their heads. Their mentor, played by Sam Elliott (Tombstone, A Star ls Born, The Big Lebowski), brings his signature grit to the role, while Pete Dexter (Paris Trout, MuIholland FaIIs) delivers a taut and emotionaIly charged script. Rounding out the cast are Max PerIich (Drugstore Cowboy, BeautifuI Girls), Gregg Allman of The AIIman Brothers Band, WiIliam SadIer (The Shawshank Redemption, Die Hard 2, BiIl & Ted's Bogus Journey), SpeciaI K. McCray (Poetic Justice), and Tony Frank (Young Guns lI, Born on the Fourth of JuIy, UHF). Gritty, moody, and unforgettabIe, Rush is a journey into the abyss where the biggest danger isn't the criminaIs, but Iosing yourseIf along the way. |
