Ricochet

“This is one case that's going to be settled out of court.”

Nick Styles (Denzel Washington) is a Los Angeles cop turned district attorney, a man who wants the career and the clean record his arrest of one hitman helped him earn. Years later that hitman, Earl Talbott Blake (John Lithgow), is back, and he has not forgotten who put him away. Russell Mulcahy keeps Nick moving through a city where every ally is a possible casualty, and his job, his reputation and the people around him are all in play.
