USA 2012
Original version
(Original: English)
Director: Walter Hill
Section: Retrospective - Walter Hill
Hill updates the cop-criminal pairing of 48 HRS. by putting Stallone's Jimmy, out for revenge against a client who burned him, with detective Taylor Kwon. As the two uncover an increasingly elaborate conspiracy involving local New Orleans cops, corporate interests, and even the federal government, the key conflict of the film concerns less the duo's fight against external foes than their internal squabble over the distinction of taking bad guys "in" or "out."
