Review by Brian Last
SYNOPSIS:
Emil and Oleg are fresh out of prison from eastern Europe ( Russia or Czech Republic). They come to America to collect their share of a bank robbery that they got caught for. Within an hour of being in the country Oleg steals a camera, and they go pay a visit to their friend Vilmos to collect. When they show up and there is no money it leads to a violent outburst where Emil kills Vilmos and his wife with Oleg rolling the camera. A girl witnesses murder but flees. It the The first of many crimes perpetrated by the two.
Meanwhile famous cop Eddie Flemming (De Niro) and Arson Investigator Jordy Warsaw (Burns) are simultaneously called in to investigate a fire & homicide. After they leave the witness catches Jordy's eye, and he thinks she may be a witness so he gets her photo sketched and tries to track her down. Flemming and Warsaw start to team to try and save her, and catch these two.
Kelsey Grammer plays Robert Hawkins the host of Top Story, who is always in search of a gritty story because Americans are infatuated with violence. He does whatever it takes to get the story even if it means doing something tasteless, ruthless or heartless.

REVIEW:
I thought this film was fantastic, and very under rated. I thought the story was very creative and topical.

I thought De Niro and Burns were their usual terrific selves. Having two New York heavyweights added some authenticity but also it is interesting to see two great actors on screen together. It is great watching them work together to see how they play off each other and what they bring to the table.
I really thought the big stand out star who most impressed me was Kelsey Grammer. He played the stuffed shirt funny man Fraiser Crane for 20 yrs at that point so no one could see passed that character but he made this character great. He was a two face, vulgar and just an all around bad guy and I loved him. I also thought Karl Roden was a big hit in this film. He was smart, insane, and his mood and emotions flipped on a dime and you never knew what he was going to do or say next. Much like a sociopath, he was just fantastic.
