A district attorney out for a conviction. A new lawyer out of her league. A young boy who knew too much.

Overview

A street-wise kid, Mark Sway, sees the suicide of Jerome Clifford, a prominent Louisiana lawyer, whose current client is Barry 'The Blade' Muldano, a Mafia hit-man. Before Jerome shoots himself, he tells Mark where the body of a Senator is buried. Clifford shoots himself and Mark is found at the scene, and both the FBI and the Mafia quickly realize that Mark probably knows more than he says.

A review by CinemaSerf

Written by CinemaSerf on Wed Apr 16 2025

Brad Renfro delivers well here as the young lad caught up in bizarre suicide/murder/gangster drama that also gives Susan Sarandon a decent kick at the ball too. He is “Mark”, who is playing with his brother near their trailer home when he encounters a would-be suicide who has plugged the exhaust into his car. He is spotted and thinks that maybe he is due for the same fate, but when the fella just blows his brains out the young “Mark” manages to escape - only to find his brother has gone into shock. Next thing, he is in the hospital and neither the clinicians nor the ever-present FBI are incline...
