Summaries

Assigned to the mysterious kidnapping of a wealthy family man, a police detective must share his investigation with his ex-wife, an FBI agent. As tensions mount between them, Detective Reardon suddenly becomes the prime suspect.

Rutger Hauer stars as small-town detective Gene Reardon, a once-disgraced policeman who is assigned to work on a high-profile kidnapping case. As luck would have it, he must report to a decorated FBI agent, Wallis Longworth (supermodel Paulina Porizkova), who happens to be his ex-wife. The clues of the case lead nowhere and tensions mount, until a surprise break fingers a suspect - Reardon. As the victim's body is discovered, the hunter now becomes the hunted and Reardon and Wallis must pull out all the stops to prove his innocence and find the real killer. Following a single clue, he makes a shocking discovery and ambushes his suspect - facing off in a terrifying shoot-out that explodes into a violent, breathtaking climax no once could have predicted.

Gene Reardon (Rutger Hauer) is a twice-divorced Police detective who lives with his daughter Stacey (Sarah Ashley). When a well-heeled local man is kidnapped, the F.B.I. is called in, which introduces Wallis P. Longsworth (Paulina Porizkova). Longsworth happens to be Reardon's first wife. Reardon's Police reputation stinks because he botched a high-profile kidnapping case many years ago, which resulted in a baby who was never found. When ransom demands are finally heard, Reardon must try to solve the case without repeating his mistakes.—veloc <[email protected]>
