Il verdetto della paura

Four cops protecting a prosecutor's witness are all murdered by mob hitwoman Wanda (Kathleen Quinlan) and her team. Prosecutor Daniel Graham (Gabriel Byrne) is infuriated that his case against mob boss Rusty Pirone (Armand Assante) is disappearing. He scrambles to find a new witness. Single mom jury member Valerie Alston (Joanne Whalley) is threatened by ex-cop and mob henchman Tommy Vesey (William Hurt).

It's a middling crime drama elevated by a few good actors. It's nothing to get excited about but it's a fine yarn. It starts with Kathleen Quinlan's unusual role. William Hurt gets to be a villain for awhile. Joanne Whalley may be a weak spot. One would hope for a rising star giving a standout performance. All in all, this is a run of the mill middling crime drama.
