hyped garbage
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Glitz is a rather hard-to-find, but low-key made-for-TV thriller, and a nice surprise. Despite speedy introduction of events, the story flows without much hallaboo of action. Easy-going Jimmy Smits plays a surprisingly more orthodox cop (than is typical of these movies) investigating a young woman's death following a plunge from a balcony window, an investigation which leads him to an old nemesis (John Deihl as a sadistic creep), among others in Cuba and Atlantic City's criminal underground. In the end, it becomes a test of who is going to get to other first. Well worth a try if your in the mood for a fluid cop drama.
This is an interesting above average made-for-TV crime drama about a Miami cop(Jimmy Smits)who lets his career and life get entangled with homicide, mobsters, a singer(Markie Post)and a sleazy ex-con(John Diehl). This should broaden Smits' fan base and for Post, she needs no help in using the best of her talents. Also appearing are Madison Mason and Robin Strasser.
