Short description

Set in Texas during the 1970s, this crime drama follows two undercover police officers, Jim Raynor and Kristen Cates, as they attempt to infiltrate the inner circle of a drug kingpin named Gaines. To maintain their cover and gain trust within the criminal underworld, the partners begin using narcotics. As they grow closer romantically, they struggle with developing addictions that jeopardize their mission and their professional integrity. The conflict intensifies as they face pressure from superiors to secure an arrest, leading to a blurring of the line between their legal duties and their personal struggles.

Directed by Lili Fini Zanuck, the film stars Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh in the lead roles, with supporting performances by Sam Elliott, Max Perlich, Gregg Allman, and William Sadler. Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and The Zanuck Company, the movie had a budget of 17 million USD but earned 7 million USD at the worldwide box office. Audience reception was generally positive, with a rating of 6.7/10 on IMDb from 11,000 votes and a matching 6.7/10 on TMDB from 163 votes. Film critics gave the movie a slightly lower rating of 6.4/10 based on 29 reviews.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Tom Cruise turned down the role played by Jason Patric because he disliked the scenes in which the character used drugs.
  • Jason Patric did inject himself during the filming of the movie, however, he used either saline solution or vitamins.
  • Composer Eric Clapton initially did not want to include Tears In Heaven in the film. As the song's theme was the pain of loss that the musician experienced after the death of his son, Clapton was unsure if it should be released. Director Lili Fini Zanuck convinced him, saying that the song could help someone dealing with grief in their own life.
