Synopsis:
Samuel L Jackson plays a maverick detective who vows to catch a racist criminal suspected of murdering an innocent black man. However, the only witness is reluctant to talk, and the killer turns out to be from a very wealthy family, leaving the tough-talking cop to quit the force and bring down the culprit on his own terms. It's not a patch on the original Seventies blaxploitation thriller, but the cast of this rehash have a good pedigree. With Christian Bale and Toni Collette
