You must know the difference between a promise and a threat., 26 September 2001
6/10
Author: Michael O'Keefe from Muskogee OK

Director Stephen Kay gets one hell of a performance out of Sly Stallone. Ranking right up there with Rocky fighting the Russian boxer. Stallone plays Jack Carter, a no nonsense enforcer for the mob in Vegas. He goes back home for his brother's funeral and suspects that the death was not accidental, but murder. Carter goes up against some tough resistance in collecting info on his brother and his death.

Carter's niece(Rachel Leigh Cook)slowly warms up to her estranged Uncle. Mickey Rourke is one bad ass rival and Michael Caine is not a total dormant threat. The scenes that Stallone shares with Rourke are explosive, how could they not be. This action filled drama also stars Miranda Richardson and Johnny Strong. Rough and tumble thrills keep your attention. Surprisingly powerful story.
