Movie Info

New York City drug enforcement officer John Harris (Harvey Keitel) travels to London to help ineffective local policemen battle a powerful drug cartel. Harris needs to put behind bars American ex-pat Carl Frazer (Viggo Mortensen), who recruits rebellious young teens as foot soldiers in his enterprise.

    I remember getting a free screener for this from the video store I worked for, which was great since Keitel was in it. A decent crime film with another good Keitel performance.
