With two strikes on his record, fresh-out-of-stir career criminal Troy Cameron (Nicolas Cage) wasn't interested in getting caught again. However, the influence of his old cronies Mad Dog (Willem Dafoe) and Diesel (Christopher Matthew Cook) pulls him back into the life-and the promise of big bucks from a mob chieftain (Paul Schrader, who wrote and directed) to pull off the kidnapping of a rival's infant child might make the cops the least of his problems. Gritty crime thriller also stars Reynaldo Gallegos, Omar J. Dorsey. 93 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack; English.

Francis Ford Coppola's Masterpiece features Marlon Brando in his Oscar-winning role as the patriarch of the Corleone family. Director Coppola paints a chilling portrait of the Sicilian clan's rise and near fall from power in America, masterfully balancing the story between the Corleone's family life and the ugly crime business in which they are engaged. Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel and featuring career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert Duvall, this searing and brilliant film garnered ten Academy Award nominations, and won three including Best Picture of 1972.
