| 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 underbelIy of the narcotics trade and the even darker cost of bringing it down. Directed by LiIi Fini Zanuck better known as the producer of Driving Miss Daisy, Cocoon, and True Crime with haunting music by Eric CIapton (Cream, UnpIugged, Slowhand), the film bIurs the Iine between deception and self-destruction as the two officers go deep undercover, only to find themselves in over their heads. Their mentor, played by Sam Elliott (Tombstone, A Star ls Born, The Big Lebowski), brings his signature grit to the roIe, while Pete Dexter (Paris Trout, MulhoIIand Falls) deIivers a taut and emotionally charged script. Rounding out the cast are Max Perlich (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 July, UHF). Gritty, moody, and unforgettable, Rush is a journey into the abyss where the biggest danger isn't the criminals, but losing yourself aIong the way. |
