The Street Martyr
註釋In this hard-hitting crime thriller, the heroes could be villains if the villains weren't so much worse. The unlikely hero is Vincent Grant, who gets by pushing stolen prescription drugs to high school kids while his mother is dying of cancer and his business partner, the diminutive "King Louie," may up and kill him at any moment. When Vincent is enlisted to throw a scare into a deviant priest, he does it dutifully, leaving the man bleeding on the floor of a seedy apartment. But when the priest is found brutally murdered, life as Vincent knew it ends and he has to flee as killers on both sides of the law make him the target of a city-wide manhunt. In an increasingly desperate struggle against increasingly long odds, Vincent begins to think his only hope lies not in fighting to live, but in resigning himself to dying--and killing--for a cause.
