Kiss of Death
In Barbet Schroeder's gritty thriller, David Caruso is an ex-con who's lured back into a life of crime for one last heist.  When a detective (Samuel L. Jackson) offers him his freedom in return for turning on a gangster (Nicolas Cage), he becomes a reluctant pawn caught between federal agents and the mob.  Helen Hunt, Stanley Tucci and Michael Rapaport co-star in this stylish, streetsmart film noir.
