Phoenix

Here is yet another one of those great little films nobody seems to have seen and it's a pit as it's one of Ray Liotta's best. Simple premise, cop has a gambling problems and it gets hime into some serious ass trouble with other cops who also have problems. Tightly written and great acting from the likes of Anthony LaPaglia, Tom Noonan, Giovanni Ribisi and Daniel Baldwin PHOENIX really works because of the directing. Danny Cannon is one of the top helmsmen of CSI as his ability to keep a story moving in a fluid manner is what makes this one such a gem. We also see Angelica Huston in an odd role as well as Xander Berkeley and Kari Wuhrer. Not the easiest film to track down but well worth the effort.
