Movie Reviews of Kiss of Death
Movie Review: NICOLAS CAGE AT HIS BEST!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film caught me completely off guard. Both Nicolas Cage and David Caruso play their parts well. In fact, one of the best roles I've seen Cage play.
Nicolas Cage is a ruthless gangster who stops at nothing in his evil ways, while Caruso is an ex-con that gets pulled back into trouble. I thought Caruso did a very good job of acting and I'm not a fan of his.
Other stars include Samuel L. Jackson, Helen Hunt, Stanley Tucci and Michael Rapaport.
I highly recommend this film if you enjoy thrillers and/or gangster films. Great surprise ending!
Summary of 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.This remake of a 1947 film noir casts David Caruso (freshly escaped from TV's NYPD Blue) in the role originally played by Victor Mature. He plays Jimmy Kilmartin, a reformed criminal struggling to keep straight and keep his wife (Helen Hunt) from going back to the bottle. But a favor for his cousin lands him back in the clink, and when his wife dies, he comes out ready to make a deal with the D.A. He becomes an informant, joining the crew of Little Junior Brown (Nicolas Cage), a pumped-up, asthmatic psycho who weightlifts strippers for amusement. Eventually, Jimmy finds himself forced to keep his radar up for treachery from both the criminals he's finking on and the cops he's working for. This film, directed by Barbet Schroeder, didn't do much business, despite a powerful but controlled performance by Caruso and a scarily splashy one by Cage. --Marshall Fine
