This film and "Kiss of Death", released the same year, worked in tandem to destroy David Caruso's movie career. Caruso, having just left "
NYPD Blue " after a sensational single season as the series' leading man, was immediately cast as the lead in two important films but when they both failed at the box office, Caruso was out of work for two years before finally returning to television.Main cast
