Amos Poe gets a chance to make a real movie. It all takes place one night on the streets of New York City. Vincent Spano runs a drug operation for the mafia. In one run down building, junkies gather to purchase and use, complete with candles. Spano escapes a police bust but begins to have thoughts of getting out. He's got problems collecting cash from one of his dealers, leading to a gunfight. The mafia catches on to his plan and sends two assassins to his house. Their gunfight in an elevator is a highlight. Unfortunately, there is also a very dated soundtrack, excessive break dancing, a trendy car and other pop culture references that may have seemed a good idea at the time but take away any edge to what could have been a good movie.
