Rush - DVD

Undercover cops Jim Raynor (Jason Patric of The Lost Boys, Narc, Sleepers) and Kristen Cates (Jennifer Jason Leigh of The Hateful Eight, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Single White Female) dive headfirst into the grimy Texas drug scene of the '70s in Rush, a hard-hitting crime drama exploring the dark underbelly of the narcotics trade and the even darker cost of bringing it down. Directed by Lili Fini Zanuck better known as the producer of Driving Miss Daisy, Cocoon, and True Crime with haunting music by Eric Clapton (Cream, Unplugged, Slowhand), the film blurs the line between deception and self-destruction as the two officers go deep undercover, only to find themselves in over their heads. Their mentor, played by Sam Elliott (Tombstone, A Star Is Born, The Big Lebowski), brings his signature grit to the role, while Pete Dexter (Paris Trout, Mulholland Falls) delivers a taut and emotionally charged script. Rounding out the cast are Max Perlich (Drugstore Cowboy, Beautiful Girls), Gregg Allman of The Allman Brothers Band, William Sadler (The Shawshank Redemption, Die Hard 2, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey), Special K. McCray (Poetic Justice), and Tony Frank (Young Guns II, Born on the Fourth of July, UHF). Gritty, moody, and unforgettable, Rush is a journey into the abyss where the biggest danger isn't the criminals, but losing yourself along the way.
