Dead Heat
All bets are off.
After tough Boston cop Pally LeMarr (Keifer Sutherland) is forced to retire, his mob-connected, small-time crook brother, Ray (Anthony LaPaglia), convinces him to purchase a potentially lucrative racehorse in a money-making scheme. But when the horse catches the eye of the mob, Pally and Ray find themselves in a life-threatening struggle to protect their equine investment.
Critic Reviews:
- " Catch it on cable late one night, enjoy the performances of Sutherland and Mitchell, and then move on to something a bit better. " – Scott Weinberg
- " Surprisingly entertaining racehorse ‘n’ lowlifes yarn, deftly balancing comedy & drama better than most. Kiefer Sutherland gives one of his best performances as a cop forced into early retirement due to a bad heart and talked into a dodgy partnership with his good-natured but shady half-brother Anthony LaPaglia.
