This thriller is a crossbreed taking elements of 39mm and Seven and putting them together to make a rather disjointed thriller.
The basic plot :- Two Russian gangsters enter America to collect the loot from their last robbery for which they were imprisoned. They find their partner and he tells them he has spent the loot. One of the gangsters kills him and his girlfriend while the other catches the murder on video tape. There is a witness who they spend most of the film following and there are more murders which are filmed. The film title comes from they fact thay they hear that anyone convicted of murder in America who pleads insanity will not face the death penalty but will instead go to a hospital where they will be released when they are considered fit back into society. The plan is they will sell the video tape to a TV network and collect the proceeds once out of hospital. DeNiro plays a famous Cop who has appeared in many magazines and who is a great favourite of the television network. To say any more would spoil the plot.
