However, legal loopholes could keep his kidnappers from receiving justice, and his partner is haunted by overwhelming survivor's guilt.James Woods as the near-psychotic Powell is chillingly effective, creating a flakiness in the character that exudes the danger of a live wire near a puddle.

ScottTimothy HuttonRonny CoxMilitary cadets take extreme measures to ensure the future of their academy when its existence is threatened by local condo developers.“Taps” works as an uncommonly engrossing story, primarily because the performances are so well done.
- DirectorHarold BeckerStarsMatthew ModineLinda FiorentinoMichael SchoefflingA high school wrestler in Spokane, Washington has trouble focusing on his training regimen when a beautiful young drifter takes up temporary residence at his home.Although "Vision Quest" sticks pretty close to a familiar outline, it is nevertheless a movie with some nice surprises, mostly because it takes the time to create some interesting characters.

- DirectorHarold BeckerStarsAl PacinoEllen BarkinJohn GoodmanA detective investigating a series of murders becomes involved with a woman who may be the culprit.What impressed me most in the film was the personal chemistry between Pacino and Barkin. There can be little doubt, at this point, that Barkin is one of the most intense and passionately convincing actresses now at work in American movies.

Things are never the same after she is taken to hospital and operated upon by Jed, a "know all" doctor."Malice" is one of the busiest movies I've ever seen, a film jampacked with characters and incidents and blind alleys and red herrings that it's impossible to keep up with.
- DirectorHarold BeckerStarsAl PacinoJohn CusackBridget FondaThe accidental shooting of a boy in New York leads to an investigation by the Deputy Mayor, and unexpectedly far-reaching consequences.How and why the characters are connected, I leave to the movie to explain. There is never any doubt that they are.

- DirectorHarold BeckerStarsJohn TravoltaNick LorenMatt O'LearyWhen Danny witnesses his stepfather Rick murder a man, Danny's father Frank has to protect his son from the greatest danger.Well-made but extremely predictable, Domestic Disturbance is an average thriller that may work better on TV.
