A mostly bad drama about a city of drugs and corruption, and the dealer who wants out. It's a predictable story, it has a couple of high points at least, but overall it's not very good.

Not an awesome movie, but not a totally bogus one either. I really had no sympathy for the main character, but I did feel bad for his wife and kid. The ending is a bit unbelievable, although you feel relieved. I liked that Michael Winslow was in this, but if only they could have let his character be a lot funnier.
