Edison (film): Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

Rookie officer Raf Deed (LL Cool J) witnesses his partner, Lazerov (Dylan McDermott), kill a crackhead in cold blood. Lazerov confiscates the drugs and money, and frames the victim's friend for the murder. How will Deed keep his conscience in check, knowing this isn't the first time he'll be an accomplice to corruption?

 

Critics at the Toronto Film Festival had great expectations of the all-star cast. The film was very poorly received, however, and its US theatrical release was cancelled. It was finally released [[Direct to DVD]] a year and a half later with the title ''[[Edison Force]]''.
