A taxi driver is unexpectedly taken on the ride of his life in this stylish thriller from acclaimed director Michael Mann. Max (Jamie Foxx) is a cab driver who hopes to some day open his own limo company; one night behind the wheel begins promisingly when he picks up Annie (Jada Pinkett Smith), an attorney working with the federal government who is attractive, friendly, and gives him her business card after paying her fare. Max thinks his luck is getting even better when his next fare, Vincent (Tom Cruise), offers him several hundred dollars in cash if he'll be willing to drop him off, wait, and pick him up at five different spots over the course of the evening. Max agrees, but he soon realizes Vincent isn't just another guy with errands to run - Vincent is an assassin who has been paid to murder five people who could put the leaders of a powerful drug trafficking ring behind bars in an upcoming trial.

Dead Heat (Midnight Madness) [Blu-ray] Review

Maverick L.A.P.D. officer Roger Mortis (Treat Williams) is a good cop who will do anything to nail the bad guys. Even if he's got to die for it in this off-beat comedy thriller. Investigating some frightening goings-on, Mortis and his partner, Doug Bigelow (Joe Piscopo), pay a visit to Dante Laboratories. It is here that they discover the high-tech Resurrection Room churning out a weird band of recycled and indestructible criminals. And it is here that Mortis meets his untimely death. But, hey, if you can’t beat ‘em, join’em. Police work is tough enough without having to tangle day after day with the same dead criminals; two can play this zombie game.

Delta Heat

Delta Heat Review

In this obscure 1992 thriller, Anthony Edwards plays Los Angeles detective Mike Bishop, whose partner has his heart ripped out by an unknown killer after he tracks shipments of a designer drug to New Orleans; this morbid m.o. fits that of a local drug kingpin who supposedly died years earlier. Upon his arrival in the Big Easy, Bishop convinces a retired cop (Lance Henriksen) who worked the original case to assist him, much to the chagrin of local law enforcement, who would rather leave the case closed. Together, the unlikely twosome take on not only suspicious locals and antagonistic cops but each other as they learn to work together. Director Michael Fischa takes the conventions in Sam A. Scribner's script--the fish-out-of-water concept, regional police resentful of the outsider invading their space, the seductive daughter of a suspected villain--and plays them without major contrivances thanks to the enthusiastic performances from Edwards and Henriksen. Despite his initial awkwardness in the role, it's fun to watch Edwards play the prissy, image-conscious L.A. cop who literally gets down and dirty as he learns harsh survival lessons in the swamps and back roads of New Orleans. There's definitely a low-budget feel to this movie, but the ultimate ending keeps you guessing. --Bryan Reesman
