In this crime drama, a man who has fallen into the wrong side of the law runs afoul of gangsters in Chicago and is attacked by vengeful mob gunmen. Seriously hurt, he somehow survives, and turns himself in to the police, who place him in a witness protection program. Given a new identity, he falls in love with a woman living in his new neighborhood, who happens to be married. As she decides if she should leave her marriage behind to pursue a new relationship, he learns that the gangsters who wanted to kill him have learned his new identity and are out to kill him, putting his new love in grave danger.

Perhaps it's only because I see five movies a week that are even stupider than Federal Protection that I can give it a mild recommendation.
