Directed by John Frankenheimer • 1986 • United States
Starring Roy Scheider, Ann-Margret, Vanity
Acclaimed director John Frankenheimer brings his expert craftsmanship to this sensationally sleazy, diabolically lurid neonoir adapted from a novel by Elmore Leonard. Los Angeles construction magnate Harry Mitchell (Roy Scheider) has a great business, a beautiful home, and a gorgeous wife (Ann-Margret). Just when he thinks he’ll land a seat on the city council, a trio of pornographers, led by the ruthless Alan Raimy (John Glover), shows up with a video of Harry in bed with his mistress (Kelly Preston). As Harry goes on the offensive and tries to pit one blackmailer against the other, the tension mounts—as does the possibility of murder.
