Das dreckige Spiel (1989)
Anwalt Eddie traut seinen Ohren nicht: Eine Koreanerin aus New Yorks Chinatown beauftragt ihn mit der Verteidigung ihres Sohnes. Doch der sitzt bereits wegen Mordes ein und hat zudem gerade einen Mithäftling umgebracht. Dennoch sei er “ein guter Junge”, meint die Mama. Nach reiflicher Überlegung übernimmt Eddie den Fall und erreicht schließlich die Wiederaufnahme des Verfahrens. Ein brutaler, schier aussichtsloser Kampf gegen Korruption und Machtmißbrach nimmt seinen Lauf. Denn Eddie hat in ein politisches Wespennest gestochen.
